When it wont start test for spark and gas we need to know whats not working!
Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!

WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE AND I SHUT IT OFF IT WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY. BUT IF I WAIT 5 OR 10 MIN IT IS NOT SENDING SPARK TO THE COIL. AFTER IT COOLS DOWN IT WILL. REPLACED THE MODULE AND THE COIL. WHAT NEXT?
