My bronco would'nt start. So I changed the in tank fuel pump. It started and would run good. After driving for about 20 minuets and then turning it off, it would'nt start again. I let it set for a couple hours and it starts again. Someone suggested the control moduel? Any ideas?

Hi thetanj and welcome to 2carpros

After driving for about 20 minuets and then turning it off, it would'nt start again. When this happens do below immediately

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
