Starts but stalls if you try to drive or idles about 30 seconds then stalls. Doesn't give any codes. scoped and fuel pump and pressure regulator are okay. checked fuses and relays ok. when it stalls have to wait about 15 minutes then will restart If you remove battery cable it will usually start sooner. Battery is okay.

When it stalls will it run on starting fluid? I have seen the crankshaft angle sensor go out and leave a code, here is the location so you can check it out, also I have included a guide to help as well.
