Answer
Hi Luis,
That symptom and fault code are very common and easy to repair. It is the crankshaft position sensor that is failing when it operates, then self-repairs when it cools down. So you need to get a replacement and install it. It is located on the passenger side of the engine at the joint where the engine is joined to the transmission (the round differential cover is just below it, specifically the ~2 o'clock bolt on that cover is exactly below the sensor). The wire colors are black/light blue, light blue/dark blue, and orange. Just remove the connector (lift tab), remove screw, put in new sensor, replace screw, replace connector, and you problem will be solved.
