1999 Mazda Protege - Occasionally starts but then doesn't run long then car does not start at all the car stalls out while i'm driving it will restart and run for a little while but then stall out again. This happens maybe 3 times then the car stalls and will not restart until the engine completely cools

Scan for codes. Check fuel pressure. Check for vacuum leaks.

Anywhere there is a place where vacuum can leak from. Intake gaskets, Vacuum hoses. Fittings. Etc. I like to use carburetor cleaner. Spray liberally along the joints and other possible sources of leaks. If the engine idle changes, you've found a leak.
