The car runs for 10 minutes dies, cools off starts up. Tested all sensors, had a diagnostic twice. No answers. Replaced battery, new plugs, wires, coil pack, crank positioning sensor, oil pressure switch. Took off the gas tank and test fuel pump and filter. No idea what is wrong. It' a 2.0 engine, standard. HELP!!!

see if it runs when you hold accelerator to the floor when it won't "run".
Maybe Idle Air Control Valve... dirty or bad/clogged, hard to "test" if it's thermal related or intermittent.

That's my guess,

I am now convinced that the main and a/c cooling fans for the radiator are why the engine and transmission act up after 10minutes or so of run time. I am going to wire up a circuit to the fan control relays to force them to stay on while the engine is running. I still cannot believe that Dodge put the ECM under the hood next to the engine exhaust. What a bone head design!!
