My Kia Sorento 04 model developed a recent problem. After running smooth for about 10 mins the engine shuts down and will refuse to start, but after about 1 hr or more it will start and 10 mins it will stop again. What do l do

Before spending big money or taking it in, remove your gas cap before going further, then see if it starts. If it does you've solved the problem on your own. New Gen of mechanics forget the simple steps.

Sounds like you have a bad catalytic converter when they clogg your car cant exhaust and creats backpressure that stalls out your car the same thing with your air filter if its dirty your not getting enough clean air to the car... but because it runs 10 min... before it dies and you are getting no warning lights, and the car restarts after it cools down makes me think catalytic converter.... i hope this helps
