Alright so the story goes I have a DOHC that randomly dies, If I unhook the battery and reconnect it right away it starts right up. I tested it with a fuel pressure tester once , it read 49 psi and it started right back up; It then died around the corner. If I get it started It will run at idle for as long as I want it to until I start driving. I can usually make it to the store and back. The symptoms only occur on longer trips say 15 min or more. WTF could it be besides the fuel pump?

I dont know yet, I have been to busy/lazy to tear into it yet. eveyone else is bringing their cars over to be fixed and I havent had much time to do it mine. Although my car is good for short trips to the parts or party stores.
