97 850 GLT Wagon random, intermittent stall, dying 850 1997

At about 10 minutes or so of driving (and thereafter), it often dies whether rolling or stopped. If rolling, it starts right up again on its own, so I only feel a slight dip in power. Happens at any speed.

When it dies while the car is stopped (such as at a stop light), I can most often start it right up again, but has been taking longer (5-10 seconds) to start on the last couple of short drives.

In July of 2012 the fuel pump died and I replaced it with the O'Reilly cheap option and DID NOT replace the filter at the same time.

Recently I replaced both the filter and fuel relay. Neither made any difference with regards to the above mentioned stalling condition.

Aside from this issue, the car runs beautifully. No lighting, starting or accessory issues so I'm reluctant to say starter switch.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Norman
