After driving for a while and coming to a stop engine will shutoff. It will not restart until car cools down 30 minutes later. There is no codes and I can not duplicate the problem when I have tools to check it out. Please help me solve this puzzle

Crank sensors do this a lot. Can also be the ignition module.

I agree with TOBYU, I have seen the crankshaft sensor cause this issue and then when it cools down it starts working again. Here is the location so you can swap it out, when this sensor goes bad it may not leave a trouble code fyi. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
