Car stalls occasionally and starts up a minute later

You need to look at your fuel pump it does not pump to specification when it gets hot. You might just have to replace it. Good luck

I would clean the throttle body with the special spray they sell and try that.

check the condition and tension of the drive belt on the alternator. check for loose terminals . Check for moisture in the alternator and loose alternator terminals.

There are several possibilities, but based on how you described the symptoms I suggest a profile igniton pickup. On these systems the failure usually begins as dropping a cylinder occasionally,like a misfire,mostly during high underhood temperatures,will manifest into stalling and finally into a stall with no resart condition. Symptoms are most likely to occur in summer. The pickup is inside the distributor and the distributor must be disassembled to install it,the trickiest part being the removal and installation of the distributor drive gear. They are iron and easily broken. The simplest solution is another distributor. The ignition modules typically do not fail in this manner,but this is classic for the pickup coil. A code for loss of pip signal should be present, it is possible for a code to not be present,though very unlikely. Having worked on these systems for years this would be my first area of diagnosis.

This is usually the crank position sensor...some parts shops can help you with the location...hope this helps:) This should keep you from being stranded...

sounds like the distributor needs replaced

is there any engine warning lights coming on if not when was the last full tune-up, plugs wires all filter's , if not or don't know ty that.

the alternator is not charging and once you run out of battery power car dies when you let it sit battery builds a small charge enough to run short period of time.get charging system checked.

Try a new fuel filter. If that don't help best to do a fuel pressure test, pump might be getting weak.

you should change the crankshaft position sensor this is the only thing i could think of that would cause this type of no start intermittently, when you come back 5-10 minutes later does it fire right up or is it an extended crank time? either way i believe that very well could be your problem and i would have never changed a perfectly good mass airflow meter for a problem like this,,please rate good luck -jeff
