Car won't start - 15 minutes later it's fine??
92 Camaro has recently started acting very tempermental. Some times when I go to start my car nothing happens. Then, everytime without fail, it will start 10 or 15 minutes later. It occurs on hot and cold starts. Any known issues with these symptoms?

I had a similar problem with my camaro. It was a bad solenoid on the starter. I never tried but I was told that when it would not start to tap the solenoid with a hammer. I found it impossible to wedge myself under my car to get to the solenoid. In your case you could get a tester and make sure you are getting a signal to the solenoid. If you are getting the signal then it is the solenoid if there is no signal then there is a problem upstream. I know that year camaro had the vats system which can also cause starting problems. I would start at the starter first because I don't know how to trouble shoot the VATS system. you are looking for a signal where the small wire is attached to the solenoid.
