car runs for about 5 minutes than dies

first off thanks for all your help so far, now the problem i'm having now is that the car starts runs for about 5 minutes then dies, if i leave it for about 20 minutes it starts again and does the same thing, any ideas? it wont start right after it stalls. i believe it might be running to rich and is flooding the motor but not sure any ideas?

idle shut down

Try disconnecting your hot wire from your choke if it is electric and see what happens. Not sure if it will go into a safe mode and shut down automatically once you disconnect it, but give it shot. If it stays running....choke control mod is bad.
