Default Car dieds after it is hot....once cooled down it starts

Need help......My 94 GT has been in storage for over a year. I just pulled her out and after she is warmed up the car stalls. I have replaced the coil and I have pressure from the fuel pump. The distibutor was real dirty and I cleanned all the contact points up.. The car will start once it cools down. Any help would be great!

Thanks

If your car has the catalytic convertors on it ,check to see if they're getting red when the car warms up. If they're clogged it would cause your car to stall.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Some vacuum lines don't get opened up until the motor is hot. If one has a leak in it it could cause a stall.

Good luck...

I had this issue and it turned out the battery had a bad cell, but it looks like you got it figured out I guess.
