Stumped...by an intermittent stalling issue S70 1998

Hi all,

1998 S70 T5

My car is occasionally dying unexpecedly a few times a week. This morning I was accelerating through about 30 mph when it died suddenly. After it dies I can wait about 1 minute, and re-start the car and it will run fine afterwards.

I have replaced the fuel pump relay (may have been about 75000 miles since I did that) and I just replaced the fuel pump.

The car has 226k miles on it. No check engine lights or codes.

Anyone have any guesses of what it could be?

Thanks,
yt

    I had a problem years ago on a mazda that was very similar. If I recall It turned out to be the magnetic pickup in the distributor. It only occurred when the engine was hot.

    I had gone to two dealers and two mechanics no avail. Finally went to a electrical specialist in Tarrytown NY. Elben. They solved it in 5 minutes.

    Go to an electrical specialist problem does not seem to be fuel related.

    Madness
