I had the fuel pump replaced but it has the same issue it had prior. The check gauge lights will flicker and all my guages will bounce around and the vehicle will stall. In the past it would restart after 10-15 minutes, now it will not resart at all.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

It runs fine cool, but if its hot out I can drive for about 20 minutes and it dies and won't restart for hours. Everything suggested was checked out.
