This car runs great when stated in the morning but as the engine warms to around 150 degrees it stalls and sputters when the accelerator is dpressed. The coolant temp sensor has beed replaced. Mass air flow has been replaced. Tps has been replaced. And it still does the same thing also pump pressure and regulator has been verified. Please help

Its acting like the coolant temp sensor but I have replaced it will idle hot starts funny hot but will spit and spudder when hot like the fuel mix is off when hot. No visable black smoke and somewhat lean smell
also check engine light is lit most of the time but sometimes goes out (consant flash)

That isn't a check engine light, it is a check control for lamp functionality, coolant level, engine oil level, etc. The particular indicator will be in print and illuminated and will cause the check control lamp to flash. The flahing lamp can be extinguished by pressing the black button on the check control panel.

There might be some leaky injectors at the mileage reported. 225 thousand miles, correct?
