Does it seem to start up and run fine when it's cold, then once the engine starts getting warm it dies? If so you might want to take your ignition control module off and have it tested. Most major auto parts stores will test the ignition control module for free. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!! Make sure they test the module 3 times in a row. Sometimes the module will pass the first time or two, but it starts warming up from being tested (which is normal) and after the 3rd time it will fail. If it does fail then that would be your issue. Just replace the module. But definitely take the time to have it tested for free to verify that it is functioning properly.
where is this part located?
The ignition control module is usually located near the coil pack or near the distributor depending on the exact year make and model of your particular car. The easiest way to locate the part is go online to an auto parts store website and search up the part and get a picture of it. Sometimes parts stores will tell you the general location also. Once you know what youre looking for then pop the hood and look for it. It's usually on the top of the motor, however some cars have the ignition control module under the coil packs and not easily seen.

if it is a flex fuel vehicle, it most likely is the flex fuel sensor and/ or connector- it's located on the driver's framerail just behind the door.hope this helps and good luck

Just becouse you ear the fuel pump runing when you crank the engine,does`n mean that has the right pressure,make sure you have the right pressure.
SOURCE: 1996 Ford Explorer XLT V6 - will start but stalls after 5 mins.
This can be cause by many things, such as a fuel pump going bad / or is bad, fuel injectors need cleaned / replaced, fuel filter dirty just to name a few. Could also have a vapor lock where the fuel line is running to close to a heat source like the manifold or engine and the heat creates a vacum in the fuel line stopping the flow of fuel. Best bet have a garage repair shop look at it. To many hit and miss causes.
This problem is commonly caused by a dirty automatic idle speed control valve and throttle valve. Buy a can of throttle valve cleaner (do not use carburetor spray cleaner!) from NAPA or Carquest (made by CRC chemicals) and spray it into the air intake while the engine is running, use up about 1/2 the can, engine will try to stall hold the speed up, shut it down and let it soak for 30 minutes, restart and blow out the remaining fluid, shut it down and disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 Min's to reset the base idle control
