I drive for about 20 min an then my car cyuts off. Its not showing that its running hot or anything. Like you can hear that it like wants to starts or something. But after letting it sit for about 45-1hr. It starts back up and does the same thing again.

Next time it cut outs don't wait determine what's causing it by doing below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
