My truck wont start after it has been running around 10 miles or so. example: Truck cranks fine and I go to town approximately 10 miles round trip,get back home and turn off engine and truck won't start. After truck sits for a while, it cranks fine. I replaced the battery thinking that was the problem but it wasn't. What could it be?

I need you to check something for me. WHen it won't start, you need to see if it is getting spark and fuel to the engine. If you need directions, let me know. Also, has the check engine light come on? Does the vehicle run normally when it runs? Will it start with starting fluid when this happens?

Let me know.
