a crank sensor can fail intermittantly due to heat. same with the coil. once it heats up the failure may show itself. it's a possiblity with all electronic components.

well i tried to cool off the coil again, and it didnt help...

heres additional info that i learned today......once it starts acting up (like after 15 mins or running) even if you shut the engine off for 10 mins or so... that will not do any good, it will not run correctly until about after 1 hr , of its last use, when it completely cools
