First I would like to say hello to everyone . What a great site . Ive gotten alot of tips of here in the past . But Now I am stumped . This is my first post so I hope it all goes well.
Been having trouble keeping it running for about 3 weaks now . Sometimes it will go 2 miles sometimes 35 miles , somtimes 15 minutes .
It will Crank with no problem , runs ok , idles fine . Goes at least 10 min. Then just dies , like its not getting no fuel . Or it sputters real heavy like its starved for fuel .
I replaced the fuel pump , fuel filter , checked all hoses and lines, cleaned the MAF , replace or switched relays for pump .
Like I said it will crank right up , but will die in maybe 10 minutes and is very hard to crank again . Once cranked it just sputters , it even backfired once .
If I let it sit a maybe 20 minutes it will crank right up .
Could the ignition coil or something else be over heating ? Could it be the injectors ?
Any help at all .I would much grateful :)
thanks in advance,
James
 






First thing I'd probably do would be to pull codes to see if the PCM sees anything related to the problem. Then I'd probably put a fuel pressure gauge on it to see what is happening there when it stalls and won't start.
