Car Starting Problems

it just won start when it is hot, or has been ran for a while.. i got home, turned it off, tried to start it, and it did, then died, then started and died, then started and died, then just turns over, no start

I already replaced the coil, and ignition module and the starter kicks out and turns the engine over all the time. and i have a new fuel pump put in last augest... could it be bad already? I know there is always fuel at the fuel rails when it won't start... cause i always check that.... it comes right out of the Schraeder (sp?) valve

well about 2 hours later... i got in my car, and drove it to O'riellys, started fine.... talked to the guy, went out side, started fine.... drove home... turned it off, and tried to start it, and it started, then died... then would not start again... same problem as before....

What else could this be?

i'd check fuel preassure and volumn, make sure the injectors are fireing, check ignition module, they fail hot and work cold. buy a spark tester, not an old plug, and test for spark when it fails to start. that oguth to narrow it down a bit if you have spark, or not.
