Cool

I think chris has got you on the right path, so go there first. If it still gives you fits there are three problems I have found.

In the jim howard school of fixing a car, always do the simple stuff first, because 9 out of 10 times it is something stupid dumb that makes it die.

One (as stupid as this sounds......) remove your pcv valve, shake it and make sure its clicks as the ball goes back and forth. Also remove the entire pcv hose and inspect it. I had one that was completely blocked once. The car was stalling all over the place....

Two make sure the computer modules retainer bolt is completely tight. I had one guy come in with his module half on and half off. He couldn't understand why it would start run die, run 1 hr then die, run 1 day then die 4 times.....sounds a bit like your issue. We tightened down the bolt and everything ran perfect.

Three, I had one car with a bad ignition switch. It would kill the engine at the oddest times, and effected the fuel pump as you described. A 35 dollar switch got everything running fine.

So if chris cannot get you running, check these three things.
