2001 buick century stalls wont restart till cools down for 1/2 hr

I have been told it could be the fuel pump, ignition module or one of the 3 coils.
It will run for days without a problem, the stalls out of the blue and wont restart till after it cools down for 30 min.
It isn't running hot.
Thanks for any help on this one.
The car only has 61,000 on it.

Iv have a 91 chevy s10 w/2.5 5spd it stalls on highway(not cool)sometimes it will restart sometimes it wont.iv replaced the batt, fuel pump,regulater,relay,filter,sending unit,pickup coil,ing mod,...

Now that you've replaced nearly everything, the only thing left that I can think of is the oil pressure sending unit. If this is bad, the fuel pump shuts down, possibly causing the problem. However, before buying a new part, find the wire for the sender and ground it by attaching it to something on the engine. You won't indicate any oil pressure, but if this IS the problem, you'll know quickly. THEN go buy a new sending unit.

1994 buick lesaber car runs till it gets hot then it stalls and wont start till it cools down any ideas whould be helpful thank you

I don't know this car but if I was you I would start with the ignition system. First getting extra spark plug or tests light. When the car is running good, pull the coil or spark plug wire off and test for spark. By puting the sparkplug or tests light in the sparkplug lead. Then when the problem happens tested again to see if you have sparked. also pouring a little fuel down the intake system. If the car starts you have a fuel problem. If it does not start, you may have a bad ignition module are or coil. Good luck.

Stalls when warm , no start when warm

What you need to do is when it stalls out then check to see if your loosing fuel or spark.Check for spark at the spark plugs.don`t just check one.Check all the front 3 a least.If no spark then you probably have a bad ignition module.It is under the coils.Good luck.

Engine runs for about 10-20min and stalls. will

possible ignition coil pack breaking down when hot....cools off and works again. pull plug wire off plug and check for spark when in this no start condition.vehicle must have air, fuel and spark to run.
