When driving the engine stop suddently. It took at least 3 to 5 min to restart the engine. When the engine is cold no problem to restart the engine. I changed the computer, cap distributor,rotor. still have the same problem.

Cheers

Does the engine crank or not crank when it is warm?

If it cranks, first check you should do is for spark. Those coils and ICM's do tend to fail when they get heat soaked or hot.

If you have no spark, pull the cap/rotor off and run some tests on the coil/icm
