Car will start in the cold, but not when it is warm. When it does start, it will only run for about 10 minutes. But will not start back unless it is really cold outside. I have to wait.
It cranks ok.

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.

I have seen a bad engine coolant temperature sensor cause this problem, here is the location so you can swap it out. This kind of problem may not trigger a trouble code FYI. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
