Sorry, This evening leaving work the car shutdown and would like start. The engine cranks but will not start. I waited for about 15 minutes and it start fine and was able to drive it home. This has happened about 4 time in the last 3 weeks.

Check/replace your fuel filter and check your fuel pump. If the car turns on after enough cranks it's either because your timing is horribly off or your engine isn't getting enough fuel at startup.
