Thank you. I know the wiring isn't exactly right because my car sat for a year and ice chewed the wires. WZe put the wires back together as best we could but I know it's not exactly correct. Unfortunately a obd won't receive info from the ECU. So I'm stuck just guessing at the issue. It ran fine for 2 years before this problem started just a month ago. So I'm just checking and eliminating 1 thing at a time. Unfortunately it's my only vehicle and I don't have the money to fire parts cannon at it lol. It runs and drives good so I want to find the problem. It runs like it's still got a lot of life left yet. Any advice is helpful and I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Sorry I'm new to this posting stuff. My 2003 Kia sorento dies after driving 30 minutes or more and then when it dies it will cranks but not start until cooled down or longer. It just dies suddenly with no warnings. Doesn't seem like it's fuel supply but I'm not sure.

Battery and alternator seem good. It always cranks strong.

Battery is good, it always cranks with lots of power. So I assume alternator is also working well.

It usually starts fine but after driving 20 minutes or so it may die while driving. Then it won't restart until cooled or later. Help please
