I had a similar problem when engine is hot and it turned out to be the fuel pump.



So far the symptoms have occurred when the engine has been warm or hot. When my son has left for school in the morning or again after school the car has been fine. In fairness to Midas the possibility of the fuelpump was brought up when the car's original problem with the CEL being on was diagnosed to turn out to be a dirty fuel filter causing low fuel preasure. I take it the fuelpump is inside the tank as with a lot of cars?. Wouldn't the car just studder to a halt if the fuelpump shutdown or would the computer just say "stop..no fuel...no go". As I mentioned above the car just stops as if you shut the key off.
