Now for some reason I can crank it up just fine. and it will run for about 5 minutes until warm right at under halfway on the temp gauge. and then it sputters out. It will re crank right away and die immediately. Seems to me that if it cranks but dies fuel and fire are good. I do not hear any vacuum leaks but that is my forst thought.. Any ideas?

Welcome to AF,
Please open a new thread when posting your problem, even though you may have a similar problem to the original topic it will keep the forum more organized.
As for your problem, electrical issue can be difficult to track down. First pull any check engine light codes. These may direct you to your problem. Next I would check the engine sensor to verify if they are good or not. At the minimum: Crank, Cam, Coolant, TPS, MAP.
My roomates car did the exact same thing and it turned out to be the ECU was bad. Might want to try and find one you can borrow or a cheap one would also work.
