    Its gonna be either somthing to do with heat...thats getting hot when started then has to wait to cool down to start again, so might be a temp sensor or just a sensor getting hot n not working.

    Or possibly the ECU itself? Worth ago i guess...

    Also check the cat has not collapsed - if so the exhaust back pressure will slowly build and stall the car. Do not go back to that mechanic, he is simply throwing parts at the problem at random at your expense.

    Easiest way is to disconnect exhaust system from the downpipe ( look for 2 bolts and 2 big springs). Car will be proper loud but you only need it to run for short time to tes this theory.
