I have a 1992 Ford Tempo GL 4 Cylinder. It seems like after it gets warmed up, it just shuts completely off like I turned the key off. Well, I replaced the coil and it still did the same thing. I had the electronic module checked and it tested fine at two parts stores. (The little plug that bolts under the distributor).
After that, my battery completely died. So, I had to replace the battery. Then I replaced the ignition switch because it was really loose and would mess up sometimes. I thought maybe it was getting turned off while the car was running. That didn't help it either. Then after I got the new switch put on, I turned the key over and listened to the fuel pump. It started screaming and sounded like it was locked up. It was making a loud noise and then would crack and sound like it was getting chewed up.
So that led me to believe it was the fuel pump. I put the new fuel pump on this evening, the car ran great for about 30 minutes. Then after that it just started shutting off again. After about 3 times cranking it back up, it won't start again until it cools down it seems.
Does anyone out there have any advice for me to go on to figure out what to do next? When it dies and won't start, it does have fire coming off the plugs. I checked that today.
