Default Main realy problem?or Distributer coil?

Heres the problem...My car will start and will drive but if I drive it for a while and the stop it wont start up again? I have to let it rest from 10 minute to and hour or so. Sometimes it wont even start?
A friend told me it could be my coil but another said that it could be my main relay? He said clean the contacts on the relay and it should be ok? Does anyone have any pics on how to do this? What do you think it is? Any tips would be helpful...Thank You

It's your main relay
Do this. remove the rear storage compartment, that way you can hear the pump.
It has a high frecuency buzz sound.
Put the key in and turn it to the second position ( the dash lights should light up)
but don't cranck the engine. you should hear the pump buzz for about 2 seconds then it shuts off. that's normal.
If you don't hear anything, that's your main relay not priming the fuel system.
Sometimes the main relay will prime the system, but won't rigger the pump, so you need to have some one tell you if the pump is buzzing as you cranck the engine.
Good luck
