I had a customer who had a car that would turn off after about 15 mins from a cold start. It was when teh fans were coming on, it was caused by a wire in the front harness grounding out. Will the car start back up when hot and run another 15 mins then cut off again?
Have you replaced the plugs?

the car will start back up,, if it didn't flood from just dieing...
wiring was a big problem with this car.. so i will have to look back over all my wires..
i'm going to do a compression test to make sure that the motor is not blown... the car just seems that the idle is high like 2k and it back fires, (small puffing backfire)
