If it cranks good but won't start, make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. Have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Check for applicable trouble codes. Those are the basic checks in my opinion.

I would have to agree with oilyspill, but the fact that it starts then dies 15 minutes later leads me to suspect a fuel pressure drop. Possibly dirty filter. Run test first to confirm
