Appears if you may be experiencing two problems....First the cranking problem appears to be a crank sensor...have someone with a meter to check. The other problem of the vehicle running for a period and shutting off seems to be a problem with the ignition switch. I was able to determine my problem by tapping the steering column when the vehicle was running and found out that by during so the vehicle would shut down. To replace the ignition switch is to remove the outer cover from the steering column and locate a set of wiring (left side of column) that attached next to the firewall. Replace that and it should solve that problem. I got my replacement wires and a savage yard. SEMPER FI Good luck>>>>
