The car has been always to periodical revisions.
The car was taken to service they extract the codes and get nothing. They installed a scanner and drive many days, the scanner result was the electricity was not conducting to the plug, The Chevrolet service then make me buy this spare part #10494012, and the problem still persist.

Someone will be of any help?

It seems it looses the spark, when the motor stops
it always takes up to 3 minutes to make it start again.

Only two times of total of ten happens when the car just start running, the other eight happened when the car was running on the highway.

It is simple as is explain here, I do not know what more to explain in detailed.

Please do not hesitate to make more questions.

Unfortunately we need to know for sure what you are losing, spark or fuel. Its very critical for me to point you into any sort of valid direction. You will have to check when it dies again. Just remove a spark plug wire and see if it sparks. Or spray starter fluid into intake and see if it starts.
