Unhappy 93 Honda Accord Stalls

Need some help! I have a 1993 Honda Accord 2 door, 2.2l and it started stalling out about 4 weeks ago. I have driven the car for 8 years and never had this problem. I have replaced the distributor and the main relay and the car will run for exactly 15 minutes and then cut off. If you let it sit for approx 20 minutes it will start back up and run great then shut down 15 minutes later. Does anyone have any suggestions to try next?

Check for CEL codes, see my writeup called how to get CEL codes in the DIY section. Post codes on here.

Did the distributor come with a new igniter, coil, distributor cap, and/or rotor? How about the other maintenance items like spark plugs? Are they past due?

Can you get the car to stall out by shaking the key while the engine is running?

Do you have a timing light? Volt meter?

Default Fuel Pump??

Fuel pump may be binding up and then stopping and when the pressure settles down in the line it will start again???

The distributor did not come with coil or cap or rotor. My son marked it when he put it on and it runs great for 15 minutes. Could it be the coil that is causing the stall?
He replaced the spark plugs about a year ago and the car was running great until this started. I talked to a tech at the local Honda dealership and he said try the coil. Do you think that could be it.
I know how to use the paper clip but my grandson left my headlights on and ran my battery down and it erased the memory.
