Default 91 Civic DX stalls

I have a 91 Civic DX that dies while I am driving. When I am able to pull to the side of the road. I usually have to wait about 10 minutes before it will start again. Do you know what is causing this problem? Thanks in advance.

Car is not overheating. I did some research, can it possibly be a bad fuel pump relay or O2 sensor?

If it is HOT when the car acts up it may be the infamous "MAIN RELAY". Just go to google and type in honda main relay and read the symptoms. The problem USUALLY shows up when you stop for a minute (like getting gas) and it won't restart. Failure during operation is less common. In my car, after I removed the relay, I popped my circuit board out of the box and resoldered it. Working 100% so far. Very inexpensive to fix if you DIY. Good luck. Gordon
