Problems starting followed by sudden death

[Jeffd]

This sounds exactly like when my fuel pump was failing. It was definitely atypical vs. any other fuel pump failure I’ve had in the past. I had a handful of hot no-start situations. In each case when the car was cooled it would then start. I had my daughter tow me near our house one time and the act of towing the car made it able to start. I also had 2-3 cases where it just stopped running while driving. Once it happened at a light and then was hard to restart. Another time it happened in a curve where I was pushing the car kinda hard and it made me spin out when the engine stopped abruptly at high RPM.

Anyway, it finally did it at home so I checked fuel pressure with a gauge and there was none. I jumpered the relay and there was still none. I replaced the fuel pump with one from O’Reilly and I haven’t had an issue since.

Btw, I was sure it was the CPS too so I replaced that first and it didn’t help with the problem.
