start engine? i changed oil ,filter and spark plugs and clean intake manifold so far

when its cold i start the car and after some time like 15 minutes its turn off and will not start again it will crank but not start after half hour or more it will start again and do the same thing

if its over heating then how to fix it

So how is it behaving when you it's cold and then when it's hot? When it's hot, does it crank slow or just won't start? When it's cold, does it crank over normally and start normally? A little more information is needed. Oil, filter and intake manifold is not going to do anything for this. You might as well be changing the air in your tires.

well,carnack says the coil inside the cap could be cracked,once hot, expands to allow spark to reach an easier ground that the spark plug air gap about .030 of an inch.so think Igniter,Coil,distibutor,when it no starts is there spark??coil arcs on to distributor pickup causing it damage.
