Stalls while driving; wait 40 minutes it starts

- If its not starting spray some brake clean in the throttle. If it starts you need a fuel pump

- When it does not start you need to check fuel pressure with a gauge or spray brake clean. You feel its a sensor you will need to check it with a waveform viewer or multimeter. As far as guessing. We could do that. But to guess wrong gets expensive. Thats why everything is capable of being tested. As a guess you could also have a bad computer, coil, ignition module, loose wire somewhere. As you can see, diagnosing a problem is the least expensive route to go.

- As I said before, check the fuel pressure. If you do not have a f/p guage then next time it dies get a can of carburetor cleaner and have someone crank the engine over while you give the engine short blasts of carb spray .If it starts you know it's a fuel problem at that point. Then you will need to make sure the pump is still getting voltage. The pump should get energized for a couple of seconds upon turning the key to the on position. So make sure you have your test light hooked up while the key is turned on and observe test light. It is easier to have another person turn the key while you look at the light.
