Hello, my daughter's car keeps cutting off and then you have to wait around fifteen to thirty minutes and it will restart itself but then it will cut back off. We replace with brand new starter, crankshaft sensor ,cam sensor. What else could be the problem? We do not have a lot of money but she needs a car fixed to go to work.
Thank you your your time.

Good morning.

Possibilities:

1. ignition control module. you can remove the module and take it to a parts store and have them check it for free. that will eliminate replacing a part until confirmed failed.

2. ignition switch. the switch contacts heat up and will nor pass current.

3. fuel pump. the motor in the pump seizes and stops the flow of fuel until the pump cools down. a fuel pressure test will confirm when the car will not run.
