Angry GS300, STALLS OUT, then NO fire... wait one day, works fine!

I have a 1993 Lexus GS300 and I was idling to get onto a road and it stalled out and died. Future cranking made it want to fire but nothing... now it there is nothing... doesn't even seem like it wants to fire now...... through my research i've found that i should try looking at the relays in the circuit box under the hood, i've only checked the chip fuses right now and they are okay. Next i'd be changing the fuel filter... if that does nothing.. then change the fuel pump.. Any advice, what should i do, check first?

Next day it fires right up?!!!?

what is going on

Just to clarify. I have PERFECT battery power, i can crank till im going crazy mentally... but no fire...... then i came back the next day and i started it fine....

someone including this to my response on yahoo answers.

]It sounds like you are on the right track. If it started up fine the next day, I think your relay is fine. Change your filter (because its easy) and if that doesn't work, it is most likely the fuel pump. It will be electric on a car that age and they do go out from time to time. The car is 16 years old and is probably just its time to go.]

What do you feel about that answer (anybody)

check the distributor cause maybe oil got in and is messing with it, cap and rotor may need to be changed
