Re: starts fine but dies after running for a min

Have you tested fuel pressure (with a guage) and for loss of spark when it dies? Just because you changed the fuel pump doesn't mean it's not the problem, especially if you bought a generic Master or Airtex pump, as they are problematic. Also, it could be an ignition module or coil(s) failing.

That seems to be sorta common with the 3100...I've noticed mice like the area under the plenum.
