I am on the testing phase of my solution to:
Car would start and run fine. Then after several miles stall and couldn't re-fire. Wait 10 - 15 mins and could restart and drive fine. This would repeat.
I started with fuel pump relay.
- Got car running until stall. Could feel Relay was very hot.
- Pulled relay and put in jumper (plugs 30 & 87 I believe)
- I could immediately hear the Fuel pump start running.
- I then started car with jumper and it ran fine.
- Pulled jumper with car running and the car slowly stalled. Same behavior I experienced while driving. Because the Fuel pump was no longer running.
- Placed hot Relay back in and car would not fire
- Cooled down relay with cold air, plugged back in and car fired right up

So now with new relay I'm driving around with fuse covers off and I touch the relay after I stop to see if it gets exceptionally hot. This would indicate to me something else is causing relay to fail.
So far so good but I've only driven 40-50 miles over a few days.
The relay does get pretty warm but not to hot to keep finger against as before
Hope this gives you some ideas
