the starter is getting hot and expanding not allowing it to spin, try installing a heat sheild when you replace the starter the one on there now is on its way out

It sounds as if the starter motor is taking power from the battery such that there is not enough left to make a spark.
1) Have the battery checked (internal resistance, damage to the plates, low charge) and replace it if necessary.
2) Check the wiring from the starter switch to the starter for shorting.

The heat from the engine my have effected the starter/bendix wireing causing them to temporarly overheat and short out. I would suggest maybe it was vapor locking, but on a 99 I dont think they have a naturally aspirated engine. Of course the heat also effects all aspect of the ignition system as well. probably your best bet would be to go to a reputable mechanic and have them do a computer diagnostics test that can pinpoint the problem for you.

most likely the starter, sounds like the motor doesn't spin over when it's hot, but you can push start it? (manual tranny?) really sounds like a failing starter to me
as a side note to some of you guys answering...I don't think ANY vehicle has had a "condenser" or "ballast resistor" or "points" since the early '80s. Join the 21st century, please.

Probably your starter going out or the wires to it getting too hot. I would get it checked for sure but my best answer would be a new starter.

If it turns over, sounds like a electrical fault in the ignition or starter.

1 of 2 things, battery has a bad cell in it, or the bushings in the starter are worn. have the battery checked first.

I agree completly with gvaporcarb. I had that problem in my Caprice, the alternator was over charging the battery and if you smell sulfer or better smelt like rotten eggs the battery has blown or the caps pooped of and that could cause it too.

Starter is getting baked by heat. GM and probably others, put heat shields to protect it. It will probably get worse with time.
