Update I replaced the fuel filter , (not so fun) ... And after the car warms up it shuts off and kinda goes into a safe mode and shuts down and will only start after an hr , any help please , I have a durametric , so I can turn on and off the fuel pump with the software , but when I turn the key I don't hear anything , but the car will still start , just shuts down after about 20 min

Not sure, could be a fuel pump check the altenator for power. Post this exact issue on Pelicanparts forum, here's the link ( http://forums.pelicanparts.com/1-por...hnical-forums/ ) Rennlist, and Renntech give that a shot too.
Also try this, reset the computer module for at least 10min by disconnecting the red wire from the battery and reconnecting it. See if that works

i disconnected the battery for an hr....plugged it back in , let the car run for 20 min once it was warm, it shut down and wouldnt start for about an hr...im not getting any codes... i dont know what it is...would a fuel pump start after an hr if it was bad??? and it will keep starting untill the car reaches mis temperature...

Many, many years ago I had a Pontiac that would do this. It had bad valves and when they heated up the engine would shut down till they cooled. Made long trips very long.

something is shutting the fuel down... almost like the car is going into a safe mode and the computer is shutting off fuel , i just cant figure it out , especially since im not getting any codes...
