Got it working finally!!!
No more issues of any kind.....

Summary....
Problem was car would shutdown after it warmed up and would not start till cold.

1. Tested function of Crank and Camshaft sensors, changed crank sensor - No change at all.:(

2. Changed fuel filter, no change at all:(

3. Changed tandem pump - no change at all.:mad:

4. Checked lift pump, which is working fine:confused:

5. Adjusted timing from -0.5%, initial reading to +1% and -1.5% no changes at all, it is adjusted back to -0.5% now:)

6. This is what fixed it....


......cleaning the EGR, apparently it was sticking and causing the engine to choke and stop running without setting any codes. This is my experience and hope it helps some one with similar problems. I did not even think an EGR could cause these issues, I am an amateur at best. Thank you, everyone who helped!!

I say it is fixed because, the car was in Melbourne, FL and over the last week has been driven across the country to Los Angeles, CA without ANY starting/stalling issues.

This car has the most incredible freeway ride.......:D
