While driving my car my engine hesitates and when pressing on accelerator to keep it running the car lose power and cuts off. I try to restart the vehicle it want crank, after letting the car sit for hour or so the car will start right up with no problem.

Hi:
It sounds like there is a problem with the ignition module. I recommend having the computer scanned for trouble codes to determine it that is the problem.
Most nationally recognized parts stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.
