Hi my name is RSJ my sons girlfriends concorde stopped on her. It wouldn't start although the starter was cranking. I replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pump. Well it started up and it ran for a while, but then it stalls after waiting for about thirty minutes to one hour it will start up again, so I checked the fuel filter again. I thought it might be plugged up again, but the filter is fine. What do you think is wrong?
Thank You

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to make up its mind-do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
