The car runs for about 20 minutes normally then dies as if out of gas (kind of like vapor-lock). It won't start for about 5 minutes then will run again in several minute intervals lasting up to 15 minutes or so each time. The engine has recently been overhauled, and the throttle body has been replaced by my mechanic as well.
