It would be worth checking/replacing the ignition module ( see if you have a spark when it WON'T start) . Coil assy are plentiful and the most likely given your description. Very prone to over heating and shutting down. Good luck

Either you threw a belt or the alternator went bad. Your symptoms sound like alternator...you were running on the battery till you ran out of power.

You are losing oil pressure, this means your oil pump is probably out. Don't drive it anymore until you can get that repaired. It's shutting down because it's siezing up. You need the extra power to jump it because the piston rings and wall are sticking together, let it all cool down and the rings contract and loosens up. Allowing the engine to turn.

My 2001 pt cruiser will run ten minutes stall and wont start back no fire at all but will start back up normal after a couple hours and then run ten mins and stall out have replaced coil pack cam/crank...

A mechanic would check the ASD relay and the coil for voltage when the engine will not start.
You might also want to check the computer for trouble codes.

My car starts up then runs for ten mins then dies. it will start up after that but wont stay running. then i come back an hour later then she starts right up and drives for ten mins then back to the same...

sounds like a bad cam sensor. have scanned if light on dash is on. if no scanner any auto parts store will scan for free. a bad or failing crank sensor will make vehicle stall out after a few seconds or minutes. if it is bad enough it will not start. because it controls timing.

Suburban stalls while driving after running for 15-30 minutes. After letting it sit for 5-10 min it runs fine for another 5-10 minutes, then starts doing it all over again.

a bad crank sensor can cause this. shuts off while going down road, and will start about 10 min, later with no problems runs fine until it quits again. hope this helps,

1999 jetta shakes, and the it satlled while driving

i just finished working on the same problem. the person put way to much oil in it so the engine blew it throu the pcv valve into the throttle body. and would make a little puddle of oil in it so when you turn it dumps it into the combustion chamber and fouls up the plugs. so check ur plugs if their super black clean them up and check ur oil level

Clock/Mileage gage stay on even when car is off.. Is this Normal?

I have a Jetta 2005 and I just noticed that after this:
when my battery died after 7 hours playing my stereo, then I charged it for 30 minutes and my car could start on again. After that incident thet remote key started failing when I push the open button twice to open all doors. They remain closed, only passenger door open. Then I disconnected battery over 15 min to reset computer, and the clock and mileage gage remain on all time after that. Never remain on before it was disconnected and conneted again.
