Car will start but after running for 5 minutes or a couple of miles will die and wont start. Sounds like it its not getting gas after checking fuel rail it has plenty of pressure to it but car just wont start unless you leave it overnight then it just repeats process. This happened after I filled up with gas.

I need you to check a few things. When the engine dies and won't restart, actually check the fuel pump pressure to make sure it is within the manufacturer's specs. If it is, then check to see if there is spark to the plugs. If there is, next check to see if the fuel injectors are getting power.

Let me know what you find.
