bad earth? dodgey coil pack? have you checked your spark? rotor arm, dizzy cap, ht leads etc... wet ecu?

loose connection somewhere? make sure the fuel pump is pumping when cranking, my first valver used to play up like that, dodgy fuel pump connections

more details :D

starts from cold, 5 mins of running wont start then 5 mins of cooling will start again ?

i would say it is more likely to start from cold.. when warm it doesnt like to start again!

Does the starter motor have a heatshield?
