Starts right up cold, but after driving it for about 10 minutes or so, intermittently it won't restart until it cools for awhile.

Hello, when it refuses to restart, if cranks good but won't start, do some basic tests. Have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs and injector pulse. If your system has the housing that sits on top of the plugs, it makes things a little more awkwark, but, can still be done. You need to find out what your losing, spark-- injector pulse-- fuel pressure or combination of all?
