Engine quits and will not start for @ 15 minutes then starts and runs for short period. Replaced fuel module and filter, cleaned tank. Has happened 6 times in the past 3 days. Last time it died I checked the fuel rail and it had fuel pressure at the schreader valve. Seems to be heat related. I have seen this problem posted on a number of sites but have yet to see a solution.
