Make sure battery cables are clean and tight. If it starts up after it cools down then its probably the sensor on the distributer.

the sensor he is tlaking about is the ignition module. on fords its the gray thing bolted to the side of the distributor. does the engine turnover and not start or dont do anything at all? if it wont do anything at all take a hammer to the starter while some one tries to crank the car.
