Default problems starting car - need help

symptoms -
1.if i stop the engine for some reason after driving it, it sometimes won't start up again until i've waited about 5 minutes. it'll crank just fine, but the engine won't start.
2.the guys at the body shop couldn't start it at all for a couple days. they were able to make sure it wasn't the full system.

any ideas?

i bet its the main relay. listen carefully and when u turn the car on full (not cranking) u will hear it click on when the CEL comes on for that second and then clikc off right with the CEL . if u hear no click when the CEL goes off, the main realy is fucked up. i got stuck at a gas station for 5 minutes this morning, and whenever i drive for 10 minutes and turn it off it sticks or something i hit it a few times and it usually works again, but i dont know how long itll work for me
