I would suspect the Oxygen sensor. When was it replaced last?

O2 sensor in absolutely no way cause the car to stall and not re start.

You are losing fuel, or spark. Start the car and let it warm up. When it starts to stumble, check fuel pressure. You can get a cheap fuel pressure gauge at harbor freight. Next, pull a wire and ground it out. Chances are you will only see a small spark.

The symptoms you are explaining sound like a classic bad cap and rotor.

A faulty Oxygen sensor could certainly cause the engine to stall after driving only a few miles. I have experienced that exact scenario. By all means check the condition of the distributor cap and rotor. Recommend Bosch parts as replacements. You may want to replace the distributor cap O-ring while you're at it.

So you are telling me that a faulty o2 sensor would cause a car to stall and not restart until cold again?

What I said in my previous post is that a o2 sensor would not cause a car to stall AND not restart.
