Our 1999 Cougar runs fine but, randomly, after stopping and shutting down won’t restart. After 30 minutes it starts right up. It doesn’t appear to be the fuel pump. Help, it alwyas happens at the most unopportune times!

Car won't restart. Have to wait 30 minutes

Since it’s intermittent and unlikely to be tested while malfunctioning, I would guess ignition module or crank position sensor.
