I read this as they don't know what was wrong with it, assumed a fuel delivery problem and replaced all the fuel lines and cleaned the tanks. Quite simply, a fuel problem is not likely to show up after the vehicle has been driven for 45 minutes and then mysteriously go away after that, unless it has an electronic fuel pump that has a poor connection.
For sure, Though the tanks are clean and bright red painted, and both tanks have shiny new rubber hoses and fuel filters in the rear, I'm in a state of dichotomy about the TQ, I'm getting mixed messages from google searches.
But yea the tanks are comming down Asap anyways cause I godda check the level sending units as the gauge don't work.
Based on the fact that it runs after it cools down, the top of my list would be a bad coil. Maybe a bad condenser, but I would suspect the coil first. If for some reason you really need to prove out a fuel problem, carry a can of WD40 with you. When it cuts out, spray it down the carb. If it doesn't come back to life, then the problem is not fuel. (WD40 can be used as starting fluid, but is not as aggressive as ether.
