Cold start engine runs for 10 min. Then dies. Engine wont start again for 30 min. When the engine stops it causes doors to lock! Idle is normal then stops abruptly; engine turns over but wont start

Welcome to the forum, when it won't restart, Have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs, if you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. How long since a tune-up?

If you have bypass ignition, the ignition module controls spark during cranking, does the crank sensor plug into the ignition module? Possibilities, crank sensor-- ignition module-- wiring circuits. Any trouble codes?
