I have a 87 nissan sentra E16i carburated electronic fuel injection, replaced spark plug, wires, remanufactured distributor assy, rotor, cap, ignition coil, ignition module. Car start and idle normal. My problem is engine stop/stall after 5min. To 10 min. Of idling. I've notice ignition relay, EFI relay, accessory relay, fuel pump relay which is side by side on one relay block is getting hot. After about an hour or so it will start again and same thing will happen engine will stop after about 5min. To 10min. Seems like I need to wait for the relay to cool off before it start again. Pls. Help

HAve you tried switching out the relay to see if a different one does the same thing? Does the relay have a good connection in the relay box?

Thanks for the response, yes the relay has a good connection to the relay box, and I did try switching relays, i'd try also replacing it with my spare relay that I got from junk yard, did replace it with 2 different set of relay with the same part no.
