Buy the Factory Service Manual and do a troubleshooting.

Get the Factory Service Manual and follow the troubleshooting procedures. A high school grammar book wouldn't hurt either. We're getting migraines trying to read your posts.

Oh....and clarify the problem please. Is it dying after 10 minutes of driving and then failing to restart....or does it restart immediately?

How many Corvettes does it take to get to the center of a starting problem? Apparently more than 50.
