Car starts normally and runs fine for ~30 minutes. It then dies and will not start until it sits for about 15 minutes. After that, it starts and run fine for another 30 minutes. Fuel pump is fine, new fuel filter. I can hear fuel pump run when trying to start. Any ideas?

Have your crankshaft sensor checked and replaced if necessary, probably cost about a hundred and fifty dollars, for some reason these cutlass's are notorious for these problems. Both of mine did it. Thats gonna be your first and more than likely your last step. Let me know how it goes. Remember have it checked first before you replace anything. And it will not show up on a scantool as faulty crankshaft sensor.
