Default difficulty restarting

This morning my wife started the car and left for work. On her way in she stopped about 5 minutes from the house to get some gas, when she was finished at the station she went to start the car and it would not start.
She waited about 10 minutes and it started right up. On the way home it was the same thing all over again, she left work stopped at a store to buy something and when she got back in the car it would'nt start.
After a few minutes it started up again.
Could this be vapor lock? I f so any suggestions on a fix. Are there any other probable causes? Thanks. BTW, the car is 94' 968.

It's probably either the DME relay or the starter is a little gummed up. You can remove the starter and clean the ring gear and see if it helps, the DME relay is an inexpensive piece from a dealer. I'd start there and see how it goes. Good luck,

Steve
