NY a little help please (BX NYC)

ive had my rx7 tII for about 1 and a half MONTHS now , i live in nyc the bx mainly<< and when i first got it it ran perfect! after the second week everything started to go wrong i managed to fix a few things that went wrong like the starter got a new one, put in walbro 255 pump!>> and a few other minor things the original owner never did!, ive searched the threads and google, and i cant get a helpfull answer, well heres my issue after driving a around for a few hours i got to a light on the road and my car stalled while on neutral , i tried starting it again it cranked but didint turn over ! so i push started it to the next gas station and looked under the hood and didnt find anything unsual no leaks, no ripped belts , nothing,im thinking its a vaccum leak a real big one or some kind of demon lol, but when it cools down after a few , it starts right up with no problems, and idles normal then stalls after it warms up!, its a 87 turbo 2 with a s5 turbo .any suggestions, currently saving up the cash for a complete rebuild but i dont know where to go either to get it done, especially in the bronx or any other borough!? sorry im a newb to rx7's but i love them!

Maybe your new fuel pump is the problem. After it heats up a bit it cuts off till it cools back down.. Also maybe a bad ground or relay going to the fuel pump? PM me and I will try to look at it this week with I go to the BX
BTW, do you own that silver T2 on castle hill??

Silver car is clean with a rebuilt motor from Shorty mazda. Also got an exhaust but thats about it. Spoke to the owner once and he seemed cool. I believe he's on here, but don't post as much
