First started with light coming on three and four cylinder misfire, changed plugs wires, camshaft sensor, felt like it was not getting fuel. changed the fuel pump and filters, ran great for two days, no codes. Ran car in driveway for a few minutes and stalled out, tried restarting and no problem with starting heard the fuel pump, then stalled again. Help.
