Car will start run for like 1 minute to 2 then shut off and then won't start again until 15 minutes later. Then repeats the same way at first it's getting fuel and then it gets shut off.

Hi,

When it shuts down, are you also losing spark? I ask because this sounds like crankshaft position sensor issue. If the crankshaft signal is lost, the PCM will shut down fuel.

When it takes 15 minutes to restart, have you checked for ignition spark?

I noted that you are a mechanic, so when this happens, take your live data scanner and see if there is an RPM signal. If there isn't, my first suspect is the crankshaft sensor.

Let me know what you find.
