I'm looking at another wagon to buy and seller says that the motor runs great but dies after about 15 minutes.

I'm thinking the motor gets to operating temp and shuts off so maybe sensor/switch/fuses?

I'd start with cchecking all the fuses, check engine lights, vacuum lines, grounds.. fuel pump/filter?

This seems electrical to me.

If anyone has had this problem and found a cure or have any tips for me please post and let me know.


Thanks in advance everyone. just want to have an idea of what I'm looking at when I possibly pick up this car.

hmm did you check the main relay, mine did that alot but only when it got hot.

After it dies can you still crank the motor over if so I think it may not be the main relay but if you can't crank the motor over it maybe the main relay.

One other thing that I would check is the ignition coil.
