What I've done to try to fix:

New fuel pumps, filters.
New fuel pump relay.
New coil, cap, rotor.

Acts like vapor lock.

Thanks.

I believe that your car is fuel injected, so it cannot get vapor lock.

My 300TE sometimes stalls/cuts out when coasting to a stop.

It the starts right back.

The fact that your needs 10-15 minutes to restart suggest a heat-related condition that is affecting ignition and/or fuel delivery.

Have you checked the injectors?
