Hi all, I have a 94 Camry 2.2L with ~150K miles. The car starts and drives fine when cold but will die while I'm driving it for seemingly no reason, anywhere from 20-45 minutes after I start it. It doesn't sputter at all, just dies out of the blue. It also won't start again until it cools down a bit. It doesn't have to be totally cold but it takes anywhere from 15-40 minutes before it will start. It turns over fine but won't catch. I put in a new coolant temperature sensor and cleaned the EGR valve and the problem still occurs.

I don't know if this contributed to the problem but I did blow the upper radiator hose last week. I stopped right away and replaced the hose and antifreeze. I jacked up the front end and let it run for ~45 minutes with the radiator cap off and hood open to 'burp' the cooling system. I don't know if I got too much humidity in the distributor/rotor doing that or if the problem is fuel pump/timing belt/etc related. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm not getting any error codes from the diagnostic socket.

. Check for codes.

. Consider replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil.
