Default Trouble keeping car running after warm up..

Like the topic says, I have a 1997 DOHC coupe model, runs good when started, runs good for a bit after being at running temp.... But then it will just die, its happend to me a few times, ive been told it was the coil pack? so i changed it out with another one (was from a used car) and it still died out after runing for about 45 min or so... Any ideas? its my winter car and i need it to get to work etc.. Thanks for your impute guys!

sounds like an 02 sensor problem.....
when the 02 sensor goes bad your car will run fine until it gets warm...then it will start acting funny

is the check engine light on?????

you have (2) 02 sensors....an upstream and a downstream.....the only one that might cause this problem though would be the upstream.....the downstream just keeps an eye on the cat. convertor to make sure its working properly
