Question Can someone help me with this

My car will start and run fine, but after I have it running for about 10-15 minutes it shuts off. It seemed like a fuel pump, so i bought a tester and my fuel pressure is fine even while the car is acting up. It doesn't matter how fast I'm going or if I'm even moving at all. Then if I let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, It'll fire up like nothing ever happened, but then it'll only run for 2-3 mnutes, and then it'll do it again, but if I let it sit for like 20 minutes it'll start and run for a good 10-15 minutes. Any ideas of what it could be, i need help with this one, it's really confusing me. Thanx guys

ICM Overheating maybe???? Have you checked for spark while it's acting up?

I had one do that a few years ago and it turned out the gas tank was not venting properly. You may check the EVAP and connections to the tank. Mine happened after the charcol cannister got wet. Just a thought. After it stall or dies try taking off the gas cap of the tank. Or take off the cap and drive around into you stall out time window. Just thinking outloud.

Thanx for the help guys. I decided to change me crank positioning sensor, my coil, and the module, and the car is running great. This also corrected why it's been idling funny when it was cold.
