My car runs and after 10 to 20 minutes stalls out. I have already changed the radiator coollant sensor, fuel pump and it still does it.

Do you have any codes? Does it start right back up after it stalls?

No codes and after about twenty minutes it starts again. It cycles like this wether I drive it or just sits idling.

I have changed the spark plung, cables, distributer cap, fuel pump, coolant temperature sensor and filled up the gas tank. Engine turns but it just wont start untill about 15 to 20 min. Runs for a bit the stalls again and goes thru the same cycle.

Ok, so have you checked fuel pressure, spark, and inj. Pulse when it will not start? If so, what are you missing?
