Have you done any electrical work to the motor? Are all cylinders firing correctly? i.e. timing or fouled plugs

That sounds like the Main Relay. When they go, it takes about 15 minutes for it to heat up, then it shuts off the fuel pump.

what other stuff does not work;
it is under the dash up against the left side kick panel about where your left knee is when sitting in the driver's seat (all the way to the left of the knee)

CEL = check engine light. is the tdc sensor the crank sensor that sense Top Dead Center?
