I have a 1994 Dodge Intrepid V6 with a lot of miles on it, probably more than 200,000. It starts and runs great, has good power, but it has started to give me this one problem, It will die suddenly when I'm driving down the road. It usually takes 15-20 minutes before I can get it to start back up when it does this. I don't even know where to start to look for what's wrong.

No problems before it dies, sometimes it'll go all day for a few days without dying, then some days it'll do it two or three times. I'll drive down the road and get 10 to 15 mins. away from home or work, and it keels over and won't start again for 15 to 20 mins. I let it warm up before I go anywhere, too. It's run and idle fine, then it dies. If I can't get it figured out, i'm tempted to send the blasted thing to the scrap yard! :)
