Car starts and drives fine with no issues until it idles. It is okay for a while when idling but then cuts out and will not start again. If I leave the car for a few hours it starts fine again

It sounds like you have an air intake tube that has a tear in it. Here are two guides that will help us find the problem:

Please run down these guides and report back.
