k im at a loss for thoughts here. any help or suggestions would be appreciated. new fuel filter, tfi module,wires,cap, rotor, plugs. the car runs really well except for the fact that it dies on me once its been at normal temp for a while. so i let it cool down foir a bit then itll drive again. doesnt throw any codes either so i have no idea where to look. PLz guidance

Fuel pump? Do you hear it prime when it doesn't start?

yes i can defn. hear the fuel pump prime. and it starts everytime but after it has warmed up it stalls out on me.then ill start it and itll die again-let it sit for 20 min then start it up and drive it home. the fuel pump does seem way too loud and makes differnt noises so im thinkin its that but i dunno. ohh yeah one last thing if it like 5degrees celcius and below it will run for a long time it seems. but then if its 10 degrees or hotter it just craps out on me after 15-20 mins.defn. temp related but no codes soo hhhmmmmnnnnnnnnnn??

Still sounds like the fuel pump. It shuts off when it gets hot. If you let it cool off, it will run right again.
