After driving and shut it off it doesn't start, if I wait a while it will start.

What is your question?

It starts when it's cold, but after I run it for a while and shut it off, doesn't always start it just cranks over, but if I wait a few minutes it will start. I already replace the crankshaft sensor.

Your starter may be faulty and need replaced. Connect a volt-meter to the positive and negative battery terminals and record the draw of power as someone turns the motor over. It should not drop below 10volts. Also in some cases you may be able to tap the starter with a hammer handle to force a re-start. This is the old mechanic way of testing a starter for failure.

The car cranks over but doesn't start so the starter works fine.

Your answer tells me that you may have a faulty crankshaft position sensor. This will keep it from cranking if it gets hot.

I already replaced the crankshaft sensor and it still have the same problem.
