Could be the coil.. Could be a ignition relay switch..
Could be bad gas - sometimes with bad gas,, it settles and runs for a bit,, then the bad stuff gets into the intake and cut off - then re-settling to repeat the same..

Could be a bad gas pump..

When she wont run,, have someone turn the key to on (like when the car is running) while your ear is near the gas tank and see if you hear the gas pump working - should be a little hum..

This might be kinda dumb,, but some cars have a auto kill switch if the oil gets to low...
 
...after 15 minutes of rest.any ideas? the car is not overheating,no light in the dashboard,it feels like something gets hot and cuts off the gas because while stalled,I have sprayed liquid start in the chamber and she turns on.I keep bathing the engine to cool it off eventhough is not hot hoping to get it started.
Does anyone has an opinion to share? Thank you
