After a few hours car stalls, takes 10 min to cool then it runs, also sometimes stalls at idle, getting worse, stalls with increaseing frequency, replaced voltage regulator, word on street it maybe something with the fuel-throttle something, someone else said the catalatic converter, makes no sense to me. Help, please

Check the fuel pump for pressure AND volume. Also test for residual pressure (the pressure held when you turn the key off and the fuel pump stops.) Poor volume or inability to hold pressure will cause the symptoms your seeing.
