It sounds like the OP’s problem is it will crank but not start. From some of the other items mentioned it sounds more like a CPS to me.
I have also seen fuel pumps cause no starts when warm but normally you will also have misfires or complaints of poor performance under heavy acceleration when you have fuel pump problems.
Brandon - the OP mentions in his original post that the car will not crank.
From the original post:
"Say I drive up the street turn it off then restart
the engine it may not kick over the starter..."
It took my a couple of reads of the post to see that since the post is missing some punctuation and it all kind of runs together.
That being said, the CPS is where I would move next but only after double checking the battery posts for ANY corrosion and to make sure the connections at the battery are good and tight. I had the problem of my car dieing when coming to a stop. I checked the battery connections and they seemed tight, but I wiggled them a little harder and the positive cable moved. Got about 8 turns on the positive cable clamp nut and about 5 on the negative. It has never died again.
Good point on the CPS though - definitely worth checking if problems persist.
