Dear Sirs,

First off, I had a problem like this in 2007 and I had the ignition module replaced.
Now, the car will run OK until it runs for a short while and then the car will kill while coming to a stop sign. The engine tries to turn over but does not turn over. I have to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to 45 minutes and then car will re-start. I also had a starter replaced about three months ago.
Can you help me? Mrs Murphy

First you need to check for spark and fuel to the engine. Also, has the check engine light come on?

Here is a how to video for checking fuel pressure.
