My car runs good for about 2 hours and then in the middle of the road it shuts down by itself, I wait 10 minutes & start it again runs for 10 minutes & shuts down again. What could be the problem?

after you check the crank sensor, the distributor is another common failure as oil gets past the bushings and get into the cap and rotor area.

the crank sensor is mounted on the bellhousing below the distributor. it has a 100mm bolt and a 2 wire connector.
