Starting Question

I keep my car in storage most of the time; no garage. Yesterday (05/14/07). I removed it from storage to drive it for a few miles. It started great when I took it out. Drove ~5 miles and parked it. Took me about 15 minutes and when I turned the key, no response. Not even the battery low click. In abot 10 minutes it started; without hesitation. Drove it less then 300 ftt ( yes it still had adequte temp.). Took me 20 min to finish my on call duties and ready to leave work and it would not start again. Took about an hour or more for car to start. Drove home and cut car off. Immediately tried to start after parking and it started Tried again in 5 hrs. and started (drove till temp was at 180 degrees). Got back home, cut off, and it restarted.

This seems like some sort of electrical issue but I do not have any idea how to proceed. Any ideas will be greatlly appreciated.

TIA

Chagar
