It starts up and then shuts off like someone turned the key off. It will start and run sometimes for a while. Its allmost like the throttle is not responding but when it starts up and runs for a little bit the throttle works perfect. It has plenty of fuel coming out of the fuel filter it seems like an electrical issue? Please help

You may have a faulty Crank or cam angle sensor or a tracking coil, scan for any fault codes, my first thought will be a faulty coil, as I have seen these do this before, ok cold then fail when they heat up and re start when it cools down, I would be checking this first.
