My car has issues. At first it would run and drive like normal even after it was hot. Then when it would die as if it were running out of fuel, so I replaced ; fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, checked fuel pressure it was 37 psi, good right? Then it would run while sitting and then die, I replaced the coil today, it stated and ran for an hour, then choked and died, now it won't run at all ! I'm ready for the dozer, help

OK first you do have a digital multi meter? Check the fuel pressure again if you would make sure it is building up pressure when you turn the key on. If that is good then check to see if you have spark. Get back to me and we will go from there.
