When it shuts off it is time to check things out. Check fuel pressure on the fuel rail and check for spark at the plugs. If no spark the coils may be bad. As the engine heats up the inside of the coil pack may be seperating or grounding themself out. If fuel pressure is low the fuel pump may be weak and on its way out. This happens to people that run there car untill the fuel light comes on.it is ******* the fuel pump because the fuel it's pumping is what cools it. You can search on google or youtube for what your particular cars fuel pressure should be.

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.

Have you checked it for spark when it dies? It sounds like a bad ignition module.

We have replaced the ignition switch in our 2003 saturn ion. How do we reset the passlock?

Leave the key in the on position for 10 minutes until the security light stops flashing. Turn the key off and wait 5 sec. If it starts and dies, leave the key on for 10 min. again. You might have to leave the key on 3 times. While you are doing this have a battery charger on it. If the battery goes dead. (You might have the key on for 30 min if you have to do it 3 times the battery might get low) you will have to start all over.

Car starts and runs. Once it's warmed up, the engine shuts off tried to start it again motor turns over but will not start. Wait a couple of hours then the motor will start again and then will shut off...

Wouldn't think sensor or computer problem , more likely an ignition module . When it dies pull a plug wire an check for spark ,i think you will find no spark . Just from my 30 years of diagnosing GM vehicle's this has been the #1 cause of a start an run till warm an dies an wait 20 min . to an hour an it starts again problem. But without testing to know for sure that would be a guess . Having a qualified an certified repair technician diagnose the problem is always the best idea.

your car needs tuneup-chec distributor-plug wires etc-these things wear out from heat n voltage-the dist cap is probly corroded-also inspect fuel system-
