420A 97 2gNT dies and won’t start

[ChristianDSM]

Hey guys! So I’ve got a ‘97 Eclipse 420a and I’ve been driving it for about a month before it randomly started to die, all power to the engine just cuts off and then it takes me about 30-40 minutes before the car will start back up, it cranks but won’t fire up, once it does start again I can drive a less distance than before it died until it dies again, it’s an awful cycle and I can’t figure out the issue, I’ve replaced the fuel pump, ECU, checked wires and grounds, replaced some burnt wires off of the battery and still nothing has helped at all, I checked spark plugs and they look good. This is my first DSM and I just can’t figure this thing out, please help!

After the car dies, I would check the fuel pressure and look for spark to help start narrowing down potential causes.

Thanks I’ll give that a go!
