I'd simply bypass the fuel pump resister and distinguish the problem. The fuel pump works fully when bypassed and the engine runs better when your car's pump is close to the end of life.

just the ant to save as much money as possible right now. With the mass hysteria going on and affecting the economy the way it is... I don't want to spend money on something I can figure out on my own with y'all's help.
I'm in the oilfield and things are looking bleak.

I wouldn't expect a spark issue. Try to get it to happen while it's in your driveway and then pull the plugs out once it shuts off. If they're covered in fuel, we'll have to see where to go next. I still think the fuel pump is overheating after a while and causing this issue.
How long have you owned the car and how long has this been an issue?

This is a tough one to figure out via the internet. Do you have access to a fuel pressure gauge? Having those numbers would help tremendously. If Texas weren't so far away, I'd gladly swing by to help figure this out.
I had a town car back in the day that would stall occasionally and not want to restart. It had a torque converter control unit that was going bad that caused it to stall but it wouldn't restart because once in park, it wouldn't register that it was in park, which was a completely different issue..

no pending codes and no. From normal idle, it just starts starts to stall down to 200 and stays there for a minute and then dies. It gets no response from the accelerater either.
