any other symptoms/clues?
do your gauge lights etc work normally?
when car is running, wiggle-do not turn- the ignition key to see if short exists in switch.

When I finished my turbo setup, I tried using a friend's tuned ecu chip with similar specs just for the drive to the tuner. As fate would have it, his tune was way to rich for my setup so after it warmed up, the car would stall. It would start up fine as well. So check your spark plug tips to see if they are black from running rich for some reason. I've heard the same thing happens if the car is running too lean. It's a safety feature. If your car isn't heavily modified, I would assume you're running too lean so check your fuel pump, injectors, fuel filter, fpr, etc. How is the idle as it warms up? does it do anything out of wack or slowly decrease towards 750 rpm like it should?
