My 3800 will run fine for about 30 minutes, then it stalls and won't restart. I get various warning lights, but no codes

First of all thank you so much for your donation. You need to check for spark when it stalls and doesn't restart if you have spark then you will have to check and see what the fuel pressure is when it doesn't start.

Both fuel pressure and spark seem OK. Have noticed that after car cools down (15-20 Min) it will start and run fine again, until it heats up. Ignition module, ECM?

So when it stall's and won't start what is your fuel pressure reading?ALSO when it stall's and won't start you for sure have spark?If you have spark you don't have a bad ignition module. Also if we know we have spark for sure then we can check and see what the fuel pressure is if it's within spec's then we can check for a injector pulse from the ecm. We have to know what were loosing when it stall's and won't start it could be something like a bad crank shaft sensor but until we know what were loosing we don't know what to check next.
