I have a fuel injected, 76 Eldo with 37,000 original miles. Last time on a weekend cruise the engine died. It would turn over, however, not stay running. After letting it sit for about 15 minutes, it started right up and ran fine for about 10 miles, then died again. After letting it cool down for another 15 minutes, it started up fine again. This happened repeatedly until I finally got home. It made for a long trip. Does anyone have any advice or trouble shooting that I might try? Thanks for any help.

Check the coolant/temperature sensors, too.

Thanks to all that replied!  The temp and coolant sensors look good.  My next step is to drop the fuel tank and check the pump and filter.  While I have the tank out, Ill get it cleaned and sealed.
