I just experienced by car stalling. It seems that after starting it, it will run for about 3 minutes and will stop running. Any ideas?
Do you

Could be a fuel pressure problem, to include a defective coil, ignition control module, and crankshaft position sensor.

When it won't start-do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem.

Get a helper 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, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
