car runs for a little while then dies
need help not sure whats wrong. So far i've replaced ignition module and done full tune up and the coil tested fine. the car will run for about 10 miles or so then it begings to idle strange with tak studering slightly then becomes more erractic until it dies.
if i leave it off for about 4-5 minutes it will start back up and run for another 5-10 miles. also it seams to do it when the engine get hotter
it started doing this only it wouldnt start until i replaced the igniton module. that solved it not starting at all. but then it started to have this problem so i did a full tune except for a fuel filter. That still hasnt helped the problem.
please help any advice would be greatly appriciated

I'd borrow a coil from a buddy and see if that helps. Coils sometimes "heat soak" and quit like that just before they completely die. Check out fine when cold when this is happening.
Also, check the resistance on the injectors when its in a "stopped mode". Somethimes injector die when hot this was as well.
