I tested the Coil and it has power when the car dies. I hooked up a volt meter to the +. I was really hoping that would be the problem, as it is cheap and easy.
Someone suggested the CHTS. I thought these worked or didn't. They have a resistor built in, as I understand them. I replaced mine 15,000 miles ago. |

QUOTE When this happened to me, it was crud in the fuel tank (tiny particles of metal that got past the "sock" and then cut thru the filter to the fuel pump) causing the pump to get blocked and over heat and shut down. I had this exact thing happen to me driving from LA to OKC. Runs for ~10 minutes, sputters & stops, wont start. Wait 30 minutes starts right up and runs for 10 minutes. It was crap in the gas tank |

It's almost certainly fuel. You have some blockage, the gas cap vent, the fuel tank outlet, a kinked or deteriorating hose, a clogged fuel filter. The fuel pump will build pressure but the engine consumes more than the reduced supply, so the pump will suck but because of some restriction there's no fuel available to flow. So the engine is starved, dies, and while not running the fuel will seep by, the pressure will equalize so it can start again, but without enough fuel to keep running.
Because it runs for ten minutes the electrical possibility would probably be related to heat, affecting sensors, the coil or condenser. but then it shouldn't run again until cool. From your description it's almost certainly fuel. |
