I replaced the coil and wires. It ran better than I was doing 30 miles an hour and the engine stopped. It started after a couple of minutes.

It sounds like it may be fuel pump related. You need to check fuel pump pressure to the fuel rail. If it is within spec, pay attention to fuel pressure drop off when the key is turned off. It should maintain pressure for awhile. If it doesn't, there is either a leak or a bad pump.

You need a fuel pressure gauge. Most parts stores will lend them to you. Refer to our homepage under DIY for both directions and a video to perform the check.
