SOURCE: Starts fine when cold, after running dies on idle then wont start
Sounds like the fuel filter is dirty and needing to be changed. It's cheap and easy to swap out.
SOURCE: the car will run for 10 to 15 min then die
I've seen this with several vehicles within the mid 90s (including a 95 probe) and traced it back each time to the electronic ignition. As the car drives, the ignition coil heats up and becomes more resistive. As this happens, the coil outputs less voltage until finally it's not enough to put out sufficient spark to fire the cylinders.
Try this: Drive the car around for a while. When you start feeling the motor struggle, park somewhere and idle until it dies. Then quickly pop the hood, pull an ignition wire, pop in an extra plug and hold near the block (check for fuel leaks first!!) and observe the spark strength. If it looks weak, a new electronic ignition unit will solve your problem.

either faulty switch on gearbox that detects engagement of reverse gear or the electrical supply to this switch is interupted

First check to make sure your battery wires are nice and snug, if they are and you still have the problem. I think that You either have a bad alternator or bad battery. Take your battery to auto zone and have them charge it and make sure that it holds a charge, they will let you know if its bad. Next thing is take your alternator into auto zone and have them test it to see if its still good. If it has any roughness to it when you spin it, ie.. doesnt spin freely, seems to slow done very fast, it is proabably bad, and again, auto zone will be able to help you test it.
