not starting again.. bleh

alright, so i like this car a lot except for this annoying thing it started doing of stalling out randomly.

seems as though theres no spark OR fuel. (fuel pump doesnt kick on, sparks didnt really seem like it was sparking...) the engine does crank

so im assuming its a 'kill' function built into the ECU.

what can cause this function?

1) oil level drops?
2) fuel level too high?maybe? (only happens when its HOT, downhill..)
3) ECU wires shorting out?
4) idk?

im gonna lift up the car tommorow to check under it to see if all the wires are ok.

if the fuel level gets too high, can it cause vapor lock in a EFI system? if the charcoal canister is busted? its weird, cuz after we wait maybe 2-3 hours, if the ambient temp goes DOWN, the car will start.
