Default Ongoing probably with car shutting off

Ok i thought i fixed my car the last time...but recently it shuts off again out of nowhere.When I let it idle sometimes it stays on for 20min the next time it would stay on for 10min..and just now i tested it again and it idled for 60mins then it shut off.Also when it shuts off it will not start back up till another 15-30mins,sometimes even longer.

Anybody have anyyy idea what this may be...because its real hard to check whats wrong especially when the car runs normal for 1whole hour,10mins,20min..etc etc.


thanks
-Randy

Sounds like you may have an ignition coil causing the problem after heat soak. I have seen this a lot, its a very comon problem with these...

Yeah forgot to mention these are the things replaced last week and i thought it fixed the prob

-new dizzy and cap
-new wires
-new ignition coil
-new plugs

and to chionidca, yes it has spark because it still turns on after awhile.

Something is causing the car to shut of at any given time hence sometimes it stays on 10min,sometimes 20,30, even an hour before it shuts off.

So it starts right back up after stalling? Have you checked the ignition switch?

editk i can take the car out for like 30min-1hr then it will die...and then after awhile the i can start it back up but it will die within 15mins...then after that it will not start until the next day, then the same thing happens 1hr on /then off/on for 15min then off for the whole day.

Does it have spark when it's not starting? Didn't I ask this before?
