Default 92 lude wont start please help

ive already searched and can not find anything......over the past month this has happened to me a couple of times i go out to start my car and it cranks but wont turn over. then i let it sit for like 20 min and i go back out and it starts right up..its done it to me about 5 times now..i know its not anything to do with the battery or charging system because it cranks but doesnt turn over i also tried to jump it..i also checked and it is getting spark...and it wont start at all anymore.. so i think it is the fuel pump or fuel filter... i need some help to try to figure it out...any help would be appreciated.. also if it is the fuel pump does anyone know where it is located. by the way its a 92 lude. thanks

Can you hear your fuel pump turn on when you turn the accesories on inside the cabin?

I am more than certain this is a main relay issue.

well i started up again this **** is ****** with me it really sucks.. i didnt check the starter motor..but my friend was telling me it probably is the relay he said his car was just doing the same thing and he just re wired the fuel pump and now it is working fine.....if it wasnt the relay does this sound at all like it could be the fuel pump itself.thanks for all the input

To answer one of your original questions the fuel pump is an in-tank pump. There is a cover above the tank that you can access from the trunk (its right behind the back seat) you'll have to disconnect everything up top then drop the tank.

You try replaceing your CTS? this is coolant temp sensor. This is the one for the computer. I think it might be bad... Your can may think its overheating and shut down all power to fuel and spark. The sensor is that much... I would try one.
