Default Car won't turn over when engine is hot

I have a problem that is driving me crazy.The car starts fine when cold but after driving the car for about 10 miles and it gets nice andhot and then you park it for a couple of minutes the car will not start. When I say doesn't start, I mean it doesn't even turn over.The ignition doesn' click or anything. Just silence.If you leave it set there for about ten minutes or so, itstarts right up.

Any ideas?

Just for kicks, turn your timing back about 3 degrees and see if your problem goes away. If not, put it back where it was and get a new starter.
