I have a 1999 Chrysler concord lxi and it keeps dying on me and I have to wait 10-40 min sometimes longer then it will start back up and most time die shortly after. We have checked the coils and spark plus we checked the fuel pressure we checked battery and alternator everything tested good. Any other Suggestions? Thank You for your time! Also all lights sill work once car dies out. No check engine light and no codes ( one code when I turn key back and forth 3 times but the code is for battery being disconnected and it has we cleaned it)

Check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. Should be 49 psi minimum at idle.

At idle if lower then that then that is your problem more than likely

Ok great thank you! We thought it might be fuel pump but we weren't sure. We were hoping something cheaper like a fuel filter or something.
