Unhappy Help 94 GT stalling issue

I am having no luck diagnosing a major issue with my 94 GT. After about 10 mins of driving the car just dies. The first few ties it did it I couldn't get it started for about 10 mins. The last time it started right back up. In all cases once it restarted it drove fine for the rest of the day. It has been sitting for several weeks now since it is getting too dangerous to drive it. I've almost been hit twice when it died.

The car is in overall good shape with no recent work except I replaced the distributor about 3 months ago (Bearing worn out). Since the problems started I have cleaned the MAF and cheked everything I can think of, but everything checks good. No engine codes. At this point I am running out of ideas. At first I thought it might be something dieing when it got hot, but then it wold keep doing it after it restarted. The only things I can think of off hand is that the new Dizzy is defective, or the fuel pump is shutting off for some unknown reason, but one time it died, I pressed the fuel test port and there seemed to be plenty of pressure.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to let it die again, then check for spark.

When you say pick up coil, do you mean the PIP sensor in the distributor? I originally ruled that out since it is a new distributor, but I am hearing that slot if the rebuilds are poor an they don't always replace the PIP so I plan to swap it out this week. Thank
