Chances are it's not the headgasket. It sounds electrical to me. Have you scanned the computer for codes?

hi jacob.as joe stated it is prob not a head gasket.a headgasket seals compression oil and coolant if a gasket is bad one of those three things will be leaking if you have no water in the oil no coolant leaking on the block and no hi pressure in the cooling system. then no hg probs. runs for 30 mins and dies ,,when it dies it is missing something it needs to run fuel fire comp.since it runs comp is prob not an issue.fuel pump ign module coil.ecm ..hope this helps billymac
