Default Boosted B18b Recently Dying. Need help PLEASE!!

Hey guys--- Background:
Stock Boosted b18b
t25 14psi (safe tune s200 for about 3months)

Just recently after a pull, the car stuttered, then died and wouldn't start up.

Took it back to the shop, pulled the plugs-- looked great.
Did a compression check-- Looked great.
Checked for Spark, looked awsome.

Tried to start the car, and it does and runs fine. On the way home-- about 45mins later, the car starts doing the whole stuttering symptoms, then turns off, and won't start. Next day, car started up, then about 3 miles down the road-- same thing. Finally take it back to the shop-- thinking its a bad Pump--- check the resistance-- fine. Check all the injectors for resistance-- also fine. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to find out what the problem is-- i need my car to be safe to drive again!!

Thanks guys-- I appreciate it.

The main relay would cause the car to stutter and die when it gets heated up enough??

Did the new one fix the problem? If so, then the old one was bad.

If you pull the relay apart look for cracks in the solder. Usually when the solder cracks it loses connection, thus causing a no start condition.

If not the relay, I'd bet the coil is going out..

Going to replace the dizzy today, if that doesn't work... iguess I'll replace the ecu!!??!

Also, the car drives normal, until you beat on it a bit-- then thats when it decides to freak out. Any ideas?
