Are you sure its fuel related?

If it is getting hot and then sits it could be the started solenoid;
It also could be the nuetral safety switch (thats what mine was!)

We need more info...

no this has nothing to do with the car not cranking over at all, this is what happens while driving it even on cool days, its starts to hesitate real bad then just dies, I removed the air filter lid and had someone crank the motor over and absolutely no fuel sprayed out of either injector not even a drop, the I let the car sit for ten minutes or so and it fires right up and runs fine, (fuel pump relay was replaced ) no ecm codes at all, vats tumbler was replaced and appears to be functioning right, ecm replaced, when it's running motor never skips a beat.

hmmm, does it crank when you turn the key? Or is it just dead?

Can you hear the Fuel Pump come on when you turn the car on? That could be the cause but I dont get the car sputtering and dying... Do your gauges drop or do you see any loss in power of your accessories before the car dies?
