01 1.8t infrequent no start
So in the last couple months about 6-8 times it wouldnt start when warm but always start 10-30 min. later. I changed the coolant sensor, and had no problems for about a couple weeks but it has happened a couple more times since. Then today it died (fine one moment nothing the next) going down the road but started an hour later. I haven't had a scanner on it yet but ant ideas?

From my experience: when a car starts fine when cold, but not when hot, that means the main bearings are dying........but that's a worst case scenario.
Try starting it and letting it idle (with the A/C on if you can). Watch the temp gauge. Don't let it overheat. If it gets to proper operating temperature and stays steady there, then let it idle for 20-30 minutes and see if it dies on you.
If it doesn't die in that amount of time, turn it off and try to start it up again about 30 seconds later and see what happens (watch the dash warning lights).
Let me know how it goes.
