Is it a distributor or coil-pack?
From the information given, the perpetrating factors are temperature and time.
A bad coil pack fits this criteria (I think but I'm no mechanic).
The temperature goes up during a relatively short period of time in the coil pack.

its "could" not "cud"

you sound like 13yr old....

now on to your car

for the purpose of the rest of use, can you give a brief explanation as to your setup.

i can only assume its a 4age, what fuel system, is the engine stock?

then answer these:

is it always the exact same temperature that it stops working at?
is it always the exact amount of time?
when it doesn't start, do you get fuel and spark? have you checked this?
when did you first get this problem, was it suddenly like this, or has it slowly occured?
what have you tried?
have you replaced anything that has no effect on the problem?

just need more info to diagnose a problem..especially via text medium.. :2thumbs:

ecotec commodores do this all the time, its the crank angle sensor that causes it.

id say that your sensor in the dizzy, or the dizzy itself is no good.
