Car dies after 5 minutes, is it the Computer??
I get the car running and after 5 minutes the car shuts off and the engine light comes on. I can crank the engine over but it doesnt start. I have to wait 5-10 minutes later and try agian then it starts, and again the car shuts off and the engine light comes on. Does this sound like a computer problem?

Jumper the ALDL and write down the codes that it gives you.

Will contain the information you need to get more information. It's a crap shoot without any more information, or any basic diagnostics being performed.

check the coil and replace it. Sometimes the coil will get hot and shut down. This same thing happened on my z and I put the stock coil back in and it never did it again.
