my car duts off & if you let it sit awhile it will crank back up. I've changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel relay, & alternator

Hi there,

Check for any fault codes in the ECU (you don;t always get a check engine light showing with all codes) you may have a sensor that is failing due to overheating and working again when it cools down, start here.

Could be a cam or crank angle sensor as these are reference sensors for ignition & injection, a scan should give a code if one is faulty.

Ohh also, coils can do this as well but not as common and you usually get a miss fire with a coil acting up.
