Default Crankshaft Position Sensor?

My TT stalls after 25 mins of running at idle. It cranks when it is hot and won't start back up until it cools down. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, all coils, and tried a new camshaft position sensor. None of which has worked. I have checked for vacuum leaks and have found nothing. Could this be a crankshaft position sensor problem? Has anyone had similar problems with the car stalling after it has warmed up only to restart after cooling down. Thanks for any ideas!

I had this exact problem 2 years ago. It was definitely the crank position sensor for me. I had the same problem. Car would start run for about 15 20 mins then stall and not start until dead cold. I went through any thing and everything because I couldn't get it to throw a code. I paid I think around $100 for a replacement through auto zone.

You are dead on ericcota2003! I replaced the CPS this week and the car is running fine. Although it was really hard to get to and it took a few hours. I got my replacement at Advance Auto for $89. You can google some promo codes for Advance Auto and get up to 30% off your total order. Thanks for the input.
