What would make the car stall?

I am looking in to buying a 2003 Ford Focus. The car has a problem in which it stalls. The owner has replaced the engine and put multiple fuel pumps on the car and the problem is still there. She said that if you let the car sit for about 20 mins it will crank right up and run fine until it starts to chug and then goes dead again. She said it may go months without doing this. Any ideas?

I'd be looking for a Chrysler, Toyota, or Hyundai; definitely not a Ford or GM, and certainly not one that you have to fix right off the bat.
