99 honda accord vtec v6 dies and won't start for 10-15 minutes
I have a 99 honda accord v6, 3.0 l v6 vtec . It starts and runs fine After 20 to 30 minutes it will just die and won't restart for 10-15 minutes. I've replaced the fuel pump ,the ignition control module and the distributor but It still does the same thing..It will do it while driving or parked in the driveway . Any suggestions?? I don't want to keep throwing parts at it

You really need to figure out why the car is stalling, or you will keep throwing parts at it.
Stop by a parts store and ask them to can your codes. Post any codes on here.
Also, while the car is running, try shaking your key. Will the engine cut out?

Another thought...
When it stalls & won't restart, turn the key just to the RUN position, don't turn it directly to START.
Listen for the fuel pump to run for 2 seconds then quit. (Same time as the check-engine light will be on for the bulb-check.) It's not very loud, so you'll have to turn off the music, ventilation, and other noisemakers. Maybe have someone listen underneath the back of the car.
If the pump doesn't run, then concentrate on why it doesn't run.
- main relay?
- wiring fault?
- bad pump?
