Car dies when warm
OK, I did do a search but didnt see anything that pertains to this problem
The car is a 1993 Formula, we just changed the cap and rotor because it was missing something terrible, and this did fix the missing. The problem now is that after about 10-15 minutes of driving (just getting to operating temp) the car wil die and not start again till its cooled off. We have changed the coil and the ignition module and the fuel filter...but nothing has fixed it. Currently I am thinking it has something to do with fuel because it doesn't throw a code when it dies. The car seems to have good pressure at the fuel rails, but I have not put a fuel pressure gage on it to see if it is the 42 PSI its suppossed to be. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Fullagar

It's unlikely you have a fuel pump issue since they usually eventually show a problem at restart. Though it wouldn't hurt to check pressure.
Next time it dies, pull a plug wire and plug another known good plug on it and see if it has spark.
