Default Car Problem

OK, so heres the deal. I have a 96 Eclipse RS, manual trans. Everytime i am driving it for a while for like 15 to 20 min on the freeway the engine starts to kick and eventually the car will stall. After it stalls if you give it like 5 min the car will start up fine and you can drive if for like 15 min or so and it will do it again. It only does this after the car has heated up. i can drive it on the streets for a while and the car doesnt do it, i'm assuming because of the stop and go traffic. The check engine light comes on and spits out two errors an igintion coil error and a misfire error. I replace the plugs wires and coil and its still doing it. I also have replace the timingbelt. Still doing it! does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? thanks

Don't know much about eclipse- don't own one. But im assuming if the eclipse is a distributor using engine if it has a coil- so did you also change the cap and rotor? and you obviously used the correct plug for the car right? this sounds alot like an ignititon problem. Did you use OEM parts? Bmp 4 U
