Installs new coil. Car runs great. Weeks later same stall out. And yet a third time several weeks later. Mechanic checks it out - can't find anything. I pick up the car - starts ok and runs for about 10 minutes then same thing. About two hours later it starts ok and I drive it for a few minutes around the neighbor hood OK.
The issue is that stall outs can't be predicted, but after car sits following a stall out it starts ok.
I feel like its fuel - filter, pump, whatever.
Any hints on how to diagnose the problem -
Any help greatly appreciated - help keep car from the crusher

You say that it is an M104 engine. But which one? In Europe, the 300 always had the M104.980 engine with separate ignition and fuel system. It was the 320 that had the integrated system. They are very different.
