Stalls after about 3-4 minutes of running

Like the title says, after about 4 minutes, (Mind you, I can drive and do everything normally here) the car up and stalls. The tach drops to zero and that's all she wrote. If I try to start it immediately, it wont start. Give it about 5 mins and it starts right up again. Fuel pump sounds fine, no fuel leaks anywhere.

What else can I check?

Welcome to ZDriver!

An engine needs 3 things to start:

-Proper fuel delivery
-Proper spark delivery
-Proper compression

So when it won't start: Are all6 spark plugs sparking? Injectors spraying fuel? (you can pull a spark plug to see if it's wet or dry)

The usual culprits are: CHTS, AFM, fuel pressure, and/or ignitor.

Make sure you download the FSM as it has diagnostic steps for all this.
