Maybe the coil, just a (expensive) shot in the dark though. Would be good to confirm there are really no sparks when it is not starting. Did it do the same thing before replacing all those parts? Also could be the ECU or parts of it just dies after it warms up. Does the CEL go thru it's normal test sequence when it is not in the mood to start?

I replaced the coil back then too. When I replaced the coil and stuff, it had died completely and wouldn't start, this is intermittent. I am going to look for spark next time it dies ( i seem to be having trouble duplicating it in my garage, or I am just not patient enough). CEL is normal. I noticed in the Helm's Manual that itcalls outthe fuel pressure regulator forfrequent stallingin the troubleshooting guide. pg 11-103 (pg293 of the .pdf). So I might try that, except that they want around $100 for a new one. Will check for spark first.
