Check your injectors, I had the same problem with a subaru I had in high school, the mechanic I took it to said it had a bad injector. I'm sorry to say that I never actually fixed the thing tho, just giving you an idea for something to check...

you need a new ignition module, or your starter is getting heat soaked.
does it crank normally, or is it slower?

when you say "crank" dont you mean start?

if it will turn over for a while before starting your ignition module is getting too hot.

mabye you have air in your cooling system.

when I first started modding my stang, I took it for a drive and a couple kms away I pressed in the clutch and it wanted to stall, so 'I drove back and turned it off, it wouldnt start again until it was cooled down, I had air trapped in my engine.
I ran it without the rad cap until it burped out the bubbles then refilled it and it was fine after that.
