sputters and dies after 175-200 miles 200 1989

and If I let it sit for about 5 minutes, it will crank and go again. This afternoon after 140 miles, it did it again (and again) and I am at a loss to which way to go first.

I have another fuel pump relay, and coil or could it be the ecu going? It acts like it is electrical, because it goes so far, then like it heats up ... then will cool down and go again, but not as far the following times. I have found in previous posts that the ecu usually just won't let it start at all (it does have the pink label). I checked the 25 amp fuse under the hood and it was not corroded or anything. We have a fresh tune up, cleaned throttle body, ICM and flame trap. Fianl guess is the fuel pump itself -- -but I dunno .

Any advice will be appreciated;
