I would have to agree that it is probably your fuel pump, once they get old if they get to hot then they don't like to work properly. The other thing you should check is your starter.... if those are faulty then they don't like the heat either.

Thanks kamprotege00 Im probably takin it to peb boys to get the fuel presure test and check for vacumm leaks.

If anybody have another guess I would like to hear it

Thanks again

I had a similar issue way back when I had an RX3 (happened only when the engine was recently running. It turned out that a positive wire that was routed either to the ignition switch or from the switch to the starter was grounding to chasis somewhere. I realized this when I checked voltage at the starter. It was 8 volts, even though the battery was perfect. Because the wiring was buried somewhere in the dash, I simply installed a relay that took that 8 volts from the ignition and used it to connect a solid 12V from the battery to the starter. Of course, if this is the issue your car has, it's be better to find the wire that has its insulation rubbed off, and replace or patch it, but a relay would work if all else fails.

First, though, check voltage at your starter (where the ignition wire connects to it) while someone is trying to crank the hot engine. If it's below, say, 11 volts, that's your smoking gun.

So I when to peb boys and they wanted to charge me almost the cost the fuel pump for check the fuel presure and for vacumm leaks .

and of course been almost sure It was the fuel pump I when ahead and bought a new fuel pump (bang) and as you already guess is not the fuel pump...

So now im 160 bucks back and no clue what the hell do with the car
Im goin to try what recommendconcept and hope is that

This is killing me a have some rims that the only things it need tire and if I keep going like this I think I would never put them on ..
