When the engine is warm and turning a cornor the engine dies.
When I try to start the engine again, it wont until we sit for 10 or 15 minutes.
when the key is turned on to start again all the guages start up but the fuel guage. It acts as though there is not fuel.
I have had mechanices check and many sensors changed but it still does it.
another mechanic sujested the fuel pump? Another some transmission sensor?

It could be a fuel pump. WHat you need to do is check fuel pump pressure when it happens. Here is a how to for that:

No, light has not come on.
There is no engine problem code shown.
I have decided to change fuel pump and filter.
Will let you know

Do this before replacing to make sure it is a problem.

Let me know what you find.
