I have been having stalling problems when engine was hot. Changed the fuel pump and it doesn't stall, but will still not start when hot. After engine cools, starts with ease. Any thoughts appreciated.

Does it crank? If it doesn't, starter. If it does I'd check the coil for spark and spark color. Orange/yellow=bad
White/blue=good

It cranks but won't start for several minutes. I will check the coil as you suggested. Thanks.

Crank sensor is also a good culprit if the coil doesn't produce any spark but checks good with a multimeter. It's about 11,000 to 15,000 ohms of resistance between either one of the pins in the connector and the brass tower.
