Still stalls!!!
I have had my car for a while and i can't go 20 miles with it not stalling. I just have changed the fuel pump and did not help at all. I belive it is a heat related, after like an hour or two it starts right back up with out a problem. If any one could give me a hand i would appricate it.

RE: Still stalls!!!
Those would be my two things to look at first...turn the car on to the "acc" position and listen for the fuel pump to prime. If you don't hear it, and you can, then I'd suspect the fuel relay or ASD relay on the firewall. Those need to energize before I would touch the CPS. If the pump is priming, then I would suspect the CPS.
The air filter won't shut the car off, it will give signs that it's getting clogged way before that.
The fuel filter would be intermittent and can't be timed.
The o2 sensor would start you off with bad idle because it's heated to temp pretty quickly.
So, I wouldn't get into those items.
Fuel relay, ASD relay, CPS, cam sensor, ECU...those are your main items to look at. Of course you'll want to make sure that your getting spark and fuel. I wouldn't think compression is bad because, that won't cause the car to shut off after a period of time and allow the car to start up again after it's cooled off.
Another thing to check is the tranny fluid. The tranny can kill the motor too if it gets too bad to just go into limp mode.

The check engine light does not come on if that helps any. So check
-fuel relay - Turn the key to the ON position and you should hear the fuel pump humming.
-ASD relay - Have someone turn the key to the ON position and you should hear this and the fuel pump relay click, put your finger on each one to be sure they click on.
-CPS - The signal to fire the plugs and injectors come from here.
-cam sensor- The signal to fire the plugs and injectors come from here.
-ECU - This one is obvious.
any other suggestions ?>
