I have had this car 5 weeks now and 3 out of 5 it has not run. The first 2 weeks it ran like a champ. I had one insident where the temp got high but didn't overheat. Decided to take a long road trip @ 80 miles. Got almost there and the truck started to choke out. Like it wasn't getting enough gas. I'd accelerate and the truck would even out. Eventually the engine stalled out and I couldn't get it back started. Since I had it towed I replaced the spark plugs. But at an idle the engine would choke out. I found a wire that wasn't properly grounded and the engine started. The truck ran for about 15 miles than choked out again. I had it towed again. They got it to the shop and she turned right over. They were unable to replicate. I drove the truck that night @30 miles, no problems. Tried to drive to work the next day stalled in less than a tenth of a mile. TOwed agian, they ran the truck till it was almost out of gas, never stalled. I now have it at another shop to no availl. The Fuel pressure is between 60-80 psi consistantly, I changed the fuel filter and plugs, engine has spark, the fuel pump is less than 8 months old, the engine is recently rebuilt less than 20K, the trans is also rebuilt with less than 30k miles, I do know there is an intake manifold gasket leak (exhaust). Any suggestions.

It stalls while driving, and will not restart afterwards? Ive seen the egr solenoid cause these to stall on numerous counts, but they usually fire up again.

If the truck sits for a short period of time it will start. But it won't stall and turn back over right away

I understand you had your fuel pump replaced recently. It may be defective. Its happened to me before. It works 98% of the time, but will cut out at the most random times. Dont rule that out just yet.
