The car will drive fine for about 15 minnutes, then it stalls. The car will crank, I check battery and it was fine, there is fuel in the vehicle; however, it cranks as if fuel is not getting to engine.

First time it happened, we thought car was out of fuel so we put 1 gallon in from small can - it then turned over and was drivable for 10 to 15 minutes.

Second time, tank is full - I took gas cap off, waited for 15 minutes and the car turned over and drove fine (no sputtering, not sluggish, smooth).

Third time, I was in driveway heading home - I waited for about 15 minutes and it would turn over and allow me to finish driving into garage.

To me it sounds like a fuel pump, fuel filter, clogged injectors, or even possible a fuel cap problem.

Before I take it in, I was hoping to get some other points of view.

Thank you
