Car stalling while in motion?!? HELP!

Hey guys,
I'm going through a little weird situation with my car and need some other ideas of what it could be...
I have a d15 w/ 208k on it. The car has stalled on me maybe a total of 4 times but i've noticed it's becoming more frequent. The other day when I was at a stop light, my car just suddenly died. After a few minutes, I was able to get going again. About 10 minutes later, my stalled once again while going 75mph.

I noticed that my CEL came on immediately after my car stalled. My car will not start again after being warm for several minutes. It must cool down before starting again. I also noticed that as the light was on, my fuel pump was quiet.

I HAVE CHANGED both the BRAND NEW Main Relay and Fuel pump.. and have a fuel filter waiting to be installed soon. Hopefully someone has some input.. Thanks again!!

Here's the symptoms:

1. Car stalled at a stop light and going 75mph. CEL came on
2. I am unable to start the car for about 10 minutes. Fuel pump is dead quiet.
3. Car just turned off. It didn't bog down as if low on gasoline.
4. After 10-15 minutes, car will start right back and up go.
5. Car will crank but not turn over (as if no fuel)

THANKS AGAIN!!! BTW> I searched other articles and most recommend to just replay main relay.

    I second the ignitor but possibly a pickup inside the distributor. Is it possible to get a "code" from the ECU?

    Sorry I'm new to wagons but my CRX has a light on the ecu to display codes I'm sure a search might help with that.

    i'm going to take a look if my car threw any codes. Have any of you heard or experienced an alarm causing the same issue?
