Been there - done that.

Faulty fuel accumulator - one of the more common causes of warm/hot starting issues as per countless threads here over the yrs.

I certainly don’t mean to beat a dead horse but I just want some clarity:

You installed the stock coil and AFTER that you replaced the cap/ rotor?

If not, there’s still a chance that you burned your rotor. I think it’s worth opening up and cleaning/ inspecting to see if that makes any meaningful difference.

Did you try warming the car up until it stalls and Try and restart while spraying gas in the intake?
