Will start sometimes but will not keep running,
runs for about 2 min. Then dies wait about 1/2 hour and it will start and run for another 2 min.

When it wont start check the fuel pressure and spark and then check the fuel pressure and spark when it does start.

Any differences? You can hook up a timing light and monitor a cylinder and see if the spark gets erratic before it does or what.
