6th Gen ('00-'05): Stalls out and will not restart for several minutes or hours

Stalls out and will not restart for several minutes or hours
I was heading out to work this morning and my Monte just sputtered out and died in the middle of the road about 150 yards from the house. I tried to restart it and it would not, however after waiting for about 3 hours it restarted and I was able to get it back into the garage. I shut it off and tried to restart it and it would not run. After waiting about 15 minutes I tried and it fired right up. I do not understand this one for sure. About 3 months ago I had to have the upper and lower intake gaskets replaced. It is a 2001 SS with approximately 120,000 miles on it. Any and all help on diagnosing this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Could be a clogged fuel filter..
I would start by checking the fuel pressure at the fuel rail...
My guess.. It just maybe a failing fuel pump.
Please keep us informed on what the fix is..

Well i have replaced the fuel pump, filter, relay, and crankshaft sensor and this piece of junk is still doing the same thing......thanks for all your input on this matter, but i am tiring of being a parts changer. So far this thing has only given one code and that was for the crankshaft sensor. However it did not make a difference changing it either

One year ago I had the same problem (identical symptoms) and it WAS the crankshaft position sensor.
Did you replace it with a cheaper (china made) replacement ? Just asking.
If it still gives the same code, the replacement part could be defective, it happened on my wife's car with the MAF.
