Sounds like a failing coil?...
Drive 8 miles to work each morning, no problem.
When driving home, warmer outside and heavier stop-and-go traffic, it's been staling near the tail end of my commute home. Has stalled 4 times in the last week, all on the way home from work, all within a mile of my doorstep.
After sitting for a couple of minutes, it fires right up and I drive the rest of the way home.
Coil, right? How is this tested?

Coils are pretty cheap these days.. Personally I would go with Delphi.. they if i remember correctly are or once were OEM to AC Delco...
Secondly is Airtex Wells which is from what i hear what BWD used to be.. bc i've had nothing but issues out of BWD parts since SMP took them over..
Rock Auto: Plus shipping..
Delphi: DELPHI Part # GN10174
$27.99
Airtex/Wells: This is also same part in the Autozone house brand for our trucks..
AIRTEX / WELLS Part # 5C1111 {Click Info Link for Alternate/OEM Part Numbers}
$29.99

SO...
...I replaced the coil and it seemed to fix the issue. Ran fine for over a week, then suddenly it's back to the same ol' pattern...

What is heating up to cause this? It can't be a coincidence that it only happens in the afternoon after driving about 8 miles in warmer weather than my morning commute.
