Default 92 accord stall problem

I have a 92 Accord that will crank up just fine, run great for about 10-15 mins and then stall out. Car either cranks back up, or will not crank up at all. I have just replaced the Distributor (2 times in the past week), the coil, fuel filter and the ECU in the past 2 months. Have also just had a tune-up. Car has 204K miles on it.
Important to note: When the car stalls, I can feel a slight pull (like a loss in power) and then the tach goes crazy and the car stalls.
Car usually runs fine in the morning when its cooler and then in the afternoon when its 80 runs like crap after about 10 mins. Does this sound like a main relay problem to you? I have done the "click test" and can hear the fuel pump and the main relay. I talked to my "mobile mechanic" about checking the main relay and the solder points, but he hasnt because and doesnt seem to think the problem is the main relay. Any ideas?

Oh and fuel filter is about 1 month old, maybe a little less (right after replacing the distributor). We initially thought that this was the problem, because car would sputter and then the CEL came on. Replaced the filter and car ran great (except for CEL) for about 2 weeks and then stalled out. Replaced the coil, car ran like a champ for a day (except the CEL). Mechanic found out the igniter was bad, replaced distributor 2nd time. And then same sad story until we put in the 4th defective distributor this afternoon.
