I have a 93 toyota celica gts. My car has been shutting off while driving or while lowering the rpm. Ive done a basic tune up (replaced the distributor cap, rotor, air filter, battery, and spark plugs) I checked the alternator and ignitor and they were both fine. I also somewhat checked the fuel pump and it worked just fine when directly attached to the battery. When it sporadically shuts off it takes up to an hour before I can turn it back on. Idk what to do. Any help?

When it shuts off, you then will have to test for spark, injection pulse and fuel pressure, on or more will be missing and that will be where you will have to check, have you scanned for any set fault codes?
