The car runs great for about 20 to 30 min. Then I can drive up to 2 to 3 miles and the car spits, sputters, and dies. And wont start back up until it sits for an half to a full hr. And starts up again and runs fine until it dies again. Any answers please on what could be wrong?

When it stalls and won't restart, you need to check to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine. One will be missing. Once that is determined, then you can focus on a specific circuit or component. Do that and let me know what you find.
