My 98 cobra will start and run for about 5 minutes then quit, it will fire
right back and do the same thing. It will quit while going down the road
too but will start right up again. Does anyone have any ideas of what
could be wrong? Thanks

First thought, fuel filter....

   First thought would be fuel delivery.  For a simple
(but unlikely) answer, unscrew the filler cap.  That's
usually too simple for my luck, though.
   After that would be a failing pump, or a clogged
filter.

I am probably making the job harder than it is because I have not checked
the fuel filter, that I will do next. I will update and let you know if
that does the job. Thanks!
