Engine stops running either at an idle or while driving. Lose power to instrument panel gauges. Engine will crank over but will not start until power is restored on instrument panel. It loses power anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes before power resets itself. It will not lose power until engine is warmed up.

Make a list of everything you can find that loses power. If the radio and power windows are included, suspect burned contacts inside the ignition switch or overheated and melted wire terminals in the connector.
