It takes 3 to 4 times to get it to hold a start when i first get in it. when it dose hold the start it puffs like it wants to go out. it drives good then when i hit my first stop it cuts off.
Sounds like your Carb needs to be tuned. If that doesn't do it rebuild or Buy a new one.
When I get in my Chevy First start of the day I press the gas pedal to the Floor 2 times and then hit the key to start it and it starts right up at a fast idle then you have to manually kick it down to a lower idle by putting it to the floor and letting off real fast kicking it to a normal running idle.
It could benefit you to let it warm up a bit longer also. I have to give my chevy 5-10 minutes before I drive off in it..
Might try and run some fuel stabilizer through it. Stuff that will remove water and other things that will make your motor run worse (maybe run a better grade of fuel in it).
When was the last time you replaced the Spark plugs? That could also benefit you. Just the general tune up things could make a world of difference.
Also if it does this when the motor is fully warmed up you might turn up your idle as that could be a problem. Let me know what works for you.

I think either the pressure switch that turns the AC compressor on and off is at fault or the magnetic clutch on the compressor is going open when it gets hot, when it stops working use a 12 volt test light to check if 12 volts is present at AC compressor connector, if it is'nt check the cycling switch in the low pressure line, that is the line that gets cold and is the largest size coming from the compressor, it may also be in the accumulator bottle.

by chance the replacement pump you used was it a "CARTER" brand I had one of those quit the same day installed it! also be sure that the feed wire on pump in tank is connected properly! you can change them by taking out the back seat of car!! the seat has 2 clips good luck
SOURCE: keeps cutting out when driving then won't re-start
check with your dealer there is a recall on most focus fuel pumps for this concern.i would start there.

I had the same problem on my 95 XLT 351. It was the vacuum tube going into the ac/heater box on the passenger side near the firewall. The tube was rotten.......I replaced it and BAM.....all fixed.
