Thanks... That's what I did... I unbolted it from the manifold and laid it in top of 1/4 inch cork.... Took it for the drive 2 miles ...parked shut it off waited 3 minutes and it started ... Question is what sensor or is it brain box... Is saying coil too hot... won't start....??? It must be a sensor that is old or failing...otherwise it would have always acted the same ...from the beginning... Any thoughts? Any way to computer test...for that?

I would use some aluminum sheeting for a shield and add the cork to it. Can't say why this problem exists but since this car is 12 years old it may not be worth investigating further.
