So when it wont start for 15-30 mins does the engine crank meaning the starter is spining it around trying to start it?Or there is a no crank no start meaning the starter is inop?I need to know this?

the starting normal and engine runing normal and i can drive car for any time period (1h,2h....) until i stop and shutoff engine every think ok , but if i comeback to start engine ( before engine heat down from normal 1/2 to 1/3 temperature gage , therfor i leave the car for 15-30 mins to let engine heat down under 1/3 gage , i mean after i leave car for short time and rutern to operate car ) engine start normal and engine operate (run ) normal but after 5-10 s engine shutdown.
there is no problem with starting process or engine opration but the problem engine shutdown after 5-10 s after good start and runing , thats if i dont let engine temp. down 1/3 or less.
the problem happens when i press full accelerator to have high rpm 4000 befor 5 month and know i use car but i let engine heat down befor second starting ,
thanks
