Unhappy Keeps shutting off !!!!

I drive a 2000 Mazda Familia and every time i drive the vehicle about 45min to an hour it starts to sputter then shuts off. After about 3 to 4 minutes it will start again and then repeats the same thing again.
i really need some help with this one.

Silverfox: to me this sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Did yo ever replace the fuel filter? Did you check the fuel pressure after starting and then again after 35 minutes of driving? Do you have a CEL? what are the codes?

Come on! Get a Haynes manual or get under the car and under the hood to trace the fuel lines until you find it!
