I have 2001 ram 1500 v-8 runs great but three times now I can drive for an hour stop go into store and come out and it will turn over but not fire. Let it set for awhile (an hour or so)and then it will run fine again

Itr is fuel injected and both fuel and spark are not there One possible problem I have been given is a bad crankshaft position sensor What do you think? About a hundred dollar part and hard to get to.
Thanks

I would say check the ASD relay it powers the coil/injector/fuel pump-

When you turn key to run-do you hear the fuel pump?
