Will start and run for about 10 minutes and die. Wont start back up. After it sits for about a hour or so it will start and run, but only for about 10 mins or so

Thank you, you where right on the money. Changed the ignition control module and runs like a dream. It sure wasnt a cheap fix. $235 for that piece of plastic.
