Buy starting fluid. Spray some directly into intake, you have to remove the inlet boot to access the inlet side of your throttle body. Open the butterfly valve manually and spritz the starting fluid in. get back in the drivers seat then attempt to start. If it starts, then yes, you have a fuel issue. Pump is new, but what about intake screen and in-line filter? Your injectors could be keeping fuel from getting to the cylinders as well. If your car does not start on starting fluid, then you need to check for spark (existence of spark and timing of spark)

Hi,
If I understand your concern, the car stalls and dies, will not restart immediately but will after sometime. This could be anything and the best diagnostic action would be to have the car's computer scanned for fault/error codes.
In any case, initial suspect would be an overheating and/or intermittent electrical component. This would include:
Often the relays and fuse for the engine is located in a common block/box near the battery. In some instances there would be likewise would be under the dash or any of the kick panels.
To help you narrow down the probable fault, next time the engine stalls or will not start, pls try below procedures.
Most gasoline engines would need only two (2) elements to run; fuel and ignition (spark) at the right moment. Based on your post, "start running normally", it would then be assumed that the "at the right moment" is good. Next to check then would be for the presence of spark; this
could be performed by removing one of the spark plugs, reconnecting the
said plug to its wire, let it rest on any exposed metal and crank the
engine. There should be a pulsating spark at the end, if yes then
problem is most likely elsewhere, if none, then next to check (depending on the engine type) would be the:
If there is spark and yet
would not run, then the fuel delivery to the engine has to be checked.
Since you have replaced the fuel pump and filter, we can focus on the engine side. There are two checks on the injector:
In some instances, it could be the alarm/security/immobilizer acting up which prevents the engine to run.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi there they are known to have dramas with the pick up for the immobilizer i would be getting that checked first before spending money on something .else
SOURCE: locate fuel filter, and safety switch to fuel pump
The filter is located at the rear seat, you have to remove it first, then you will see a cap attach with some screws. Inside that cap you`ll find the fuel filter. Before you change the fuel filter you have to release the fuel pressure first. To do that, first find the FUEL PUMP RELAY in the main fuse box located in the engine. Once you located open the fuel door and take off the cap and leave it open. Start the engine, take off the FUEL PUMP RELAY and leave the engine stop itself, when this occurs turn off the key, the you can take off the filter and changed it
SOURCE: Exact same issue, Turns over but won't start
bad ground on the fuel pump. you will have to follow the wires ALL the way.
SOURCE: put in a new fuel pump now the car is hard to
OK!... Who told you the fuel pump was the problem?... Take it back to them and tell them to FIX IT!
Your problem may be one of the following:
First check or just replace the fuel filter. Usually located under the car in front of the rear axle, drivers side.
Next, the fuel pump may be worn out. Usually they get loud or stop working (running).
Next, check the fuel pressure regulator. Usually located on the front fuel rail, drivers side.
Is the vacuum line attached? Not leaking or rotted?
Also, do you smell a strong fuel odor when it won't start? May be one or more stuck-open injectors, or the coil pack is bad.
Checking these in the order listed will more than likely fix your problem.
The clicking noise indicates the battery can no longer run the starter, which also means the fuel pump won't run either.
It could be a fuel issue. How old is the fuel filter? Can you hear the pump run for a few seconds when you turn the key on? Try turning the key to ON without trying to start engine three times waiting for the pump to stop running each time. Then try to start the engine. If it starts, Its a form of Vapor lock caused by the extreme heat we have had lately, and a weak fuel pump.
If none of this works, try a new fuel filter first. From there have someone check the fuel pressure regulator and then the pump. If you are in need of a new pump, take my word for it and spend the money to get one from a Dealer, and not from your favorite parts store. Most parts store parts are made in China and they are JUNK.
