My 90 model prelude cuts out after about 10 to 15 mins

I can go back in around 5 mins and it will start again but if i turn it off it wont restrart. i have checked the spark when it does this and it has plenty.at first i thouht it had feul pressure but it doesnt. i would like to find the main relay and replace it before i replace the feul pump.i have looked behind the coin box and only found fuses and looked in the main box under the bonnet and there is only lights,dimmer,compresser and cooling fan relays,any ideas

Compression? distributor? leads? plugs? relay? electrical wiring circuiting out? any of these is a factor.
