Could be the ignition coil getting hot and cutting out. It shuts down, cools and you can fire it back up again. Does the issue correspond to the ambient temperature at all?

It can be you CPS is going bad or the ign coil. When my CPS went out the coil also went at the same time.

If its fully charged and instantly drains then its a battery that doesnt hold a charge. Get it tested.


Otherwise your poorly explaining the issue.
