After about an hour or so of driving the car will act like it's starving for gas. It will start to chug and sputter and then die out. Trying to restart it right after without turning the key back and dash lights still on, it won't restart. But if you turn the key back one position from run and wait 15-30 seconds it will restart. Was thinking that it could possibly be a thermal protection switch in the fuel pump because of it resetting with no electrical load on it with the key off. Seems to happen a lot more frequent on hotter days. Got any guesses on what it could be?
Was thinking either fuel pump, or maybe the venturi wasn't reconnected correctly to fill the bucket, or the bucket has a hole or crack in it so the fuel level drops and doesn't keep the pump cool enough. Previous owner swears he changed the pump with a gmpp part. But I trust him about as far as my 4 yr old daughter can throw him.
