car turns over but will not start

Car turns over will not start. After resting for 45 minutes it started and got me home with the yellow check engine light. After getting it home and letting it rest again it would turn over but not start. ANY IDEAS??

It changes all the time
Could be myriad possibilities. The best bet would take me to take it to a professional shop, and have it scanned. A snap on or other generic scanner may not provide the information that you need. I would suggest a shop that has either a Baum or SDS scanner.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
It cooled down the first time

and then started.
With a code read on even a simple scanner
post the code
if it shows Crank sensor code there in lies your issue.
OBD2 code reader with freeze frame data on sale for 59 bucks at harborfreight tools and 20% off that if you take the 20% off coupon found in the back pages of field and stream magazine.
Post the code when you have it.
