I can start it in the morning drive it to work turn it off and then i have to wait untill it cools down before it will start again. It acts like the battery is dead but all the lights are bright and working. Also this morning it started dying it won't idle.

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to cool down -check for fuel and spark-also check battery condition and connections-
