My car won't start until I've waited a few minutes?

I have a Ford Taurus SES and this morning I tried to start it and couldn't. I tried 3 times but it wouldn't work, the engine turned but wouldn't start. After waiting 2-3 minutes it started like normal. My battery is pretty new and is reading steadily at 13.8 volts. I don't see any problems with the connections either, no corrosion, everything looks like it's in good shape. Any thoughts?

I'm no expert, but it's likely your fuel line. Sounds as if the fuel is draining out. Then, when you try to start, it's "priming the pump," refilling the gas line. Then, after waiting and there's fuel in the line, it starts because there's fuel that's able to ignite. Look at your fuel pump and its connections.

The answer is: NEW CAR SMALL. ENJOY.
