engine suddenly die.

Just replaced the SOV due to fuel leak from the body itself after driving the car daily for 4 days the engine sudden die it start right away the second time takes awhile before start.I suspected the pre-filter and main fuel filter maybe clogged. I replaced both then it happened again after week the engine sudden die with out any indication in the dashboard. The engine had 147 K miles on it.
Thanks for any help.

These events are very hard to diagnose, therefore my WAG is a crank position sensor, and that is based upon no issues with air in the low pressure fuel lines!!

PS: As we learned in a earlier post the gent forgot to replace an o ring in the filter system therefore allowing air in the low pressure fuel side and engine stopped-----go over your installation of the SOV to make sure you completed properly!!
