sometimes when coming to a stop the car dies. then it won't restart for awhile. it acts like no
fuel is getting to motor. starts when cool, and acts up after
about 5-10 miles. I can hear fuel pump when key is turned
to the on position. car has all fluids including gas.

Have you tried spraying some Carb spray into the throttle body when it won't start to see if it starts?
