Intermittent stopping and starting

I have a 2000 Saturn LS2 142000 miles. The car runs well for a while and then it suddenly slows down (the gas pedal is slack and has no response)and comes to a stop. When i try to restart immediately afterwards it does not.

When i try to restart after about an hour, it does start, runs well for a while and then stops again.

PLEASE HELP

Sounds like an intermittant fuel pump. Bet the problem is worse when the tank is below 1/2 full ....

Can you hear the fuel pump running ? if so i might think that the fuel filter is cloged, the filter on mine sets at an angle and if the car sets for a while the cloging might settle and allow fuel to flow for a bit, also i dont know if there is a screen in the tank that can clog
