Default whats my problem

hi i am new here. i have a 2000 accord lx coupe 2.3L. recently after a 30 min run on the highway, the motor would stall and die. after 10 min it would start and idle fine but once you hit the gas or put it in gear (automatic) it would die. After 45-60 min it would start and run fine. this went on for a few weeks. now it will start and die as i said before no matter how long its left.
the only code showing is a evap one, but thats been there awhile. i have replaced, oxygen sensor, map sensor, ect sensor, fuel pump, checked distributor, rotor, wires replaced plugs.......nothing seems to work.

could someone give me some direction to go in. thanks

perhaps ignition swtich?
while your car is running jiggle the keys around. see if that causes it to die. then you know your problem. if it doesn't then its something else.

well i am narrowing things down. i replaced the distributor, cap, and rotor button. this helped some, but the problem was still there. upon further inspection it was found that the previous owner that a fuel line replaced and that the evap was bypassed, thus causing some negative pressure in the gas tank. As i did not have a new evap system a work around was done on it. and so far its been working. It has stalled a few times, but has started up right away, with a strong fuel smell.......flooding. so now to try and correct this.
any ideas?

fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator maybe. test it and confirm its functioning. fuel pressure should decrease as intake vacuum increases.
