The most common problem you will find that fits your description will be the Main Relay. This powers the fuel pump and has a tendency to fail when the inside temp of the car is hot or when the car has been warmed or driven then shut down and attempt to restart in 10-15 mins. If the engine is cranking but not firing, here is a silly sounding but sure fire diagnosis. Open the driver's door to expose the flat area of the dash normally covered by the door. Hold the key to crank the engine and with your open palm, slap the flat area of the dash while still cranking. The car will start within 1 or 2 slaps. If it does get the Main Relay replaced. Good Luck.
