Problem is mostly in hot weather. Car starts fine. After driving for 10-20 miles and a stop of 10+ or - minutes the car won't start. Or it starts, drives less than 1/2 mile and stalls. Engine just gasps to a stop like fuel starvation. Won't start again until the engine has cooled down some hours later. Asian Car mechanic says he has checked the carborator and it is OK. Replaced starter solenoid a few hundred miles ago.

Get him to check the fuel pressure, fuel pump could be getting weak and also the ignition coil
