I kept a log for a week to track the stalling incidents:
On 5/8 cold starts it stalled exactly two minutes after, then restarted fine.
the other 3/8 no problem.

When hot it would stall between 2 and 15 minutes after starting about 50% of the time.

On long road trips, it will drive 100-200 miles trouble free, then stall once or twice after stopping.

It always restarts, and restarts on its own if cruising over about 20 mph.

Thanks again, TX
Would not hurt to put a fuel pressure gage on and watch the fuel pressure on cold starts for a few minutes.
