will not turn over

drove my car to work everything is good, starts fine, then when its time to go home it wont turn over. When i turn the key everything came on but it wouldnt turn it over, so i tried to roll it off and it still wouldnt start. About 20 mins later it fires right up with no problem and hasnt done it again yet. I t has a new starter so I dont think that is the problem, could it be the VATS? anything will help me, this is my daily driver so I need to make sure its not going to leave me sitting.

Re: will not turn over

Was it raining on your way to work, and then stopped later in the day?
I have seen this happen when water got in the distributor. Just a shot it the dark though.

Could be a ground going bad too.
