Have you checked to make sure the fuel lines aren't frayed or pinched/blocking fuel? Also, could be the CAS. I swear someone recently posted a thread with these symptoms..

If you need it, read THIS ARTICLE Detox Nath posted, cos' it's probably the problem

sound exactly like a CAS problem.... when they r failing they will do this as they get warm and once cooled will be ok again.....
when u changed your pump which one was changed as there is 2 (inertia in the tank sits in the swirlpot) and the highflow pump sits on the outside of the tank

the high flow one also i think its the regulator the one just befor the fuel pump

hahah people remember when you clean your engine and it breaks down check for water it ended up being water in the plug of the cas what a noob
