Will the 1994 z28 camaro fuel pump relay shut down engine when it get hot?

No, the fuel pump relay itself doesn't directly shut down the engine when it gets hot. The relay's job is simply to switch power on and off to the fuel pump. If the relay fails due to overheating (though this is less common than other failure modes), it would likely *prevent* the fuel pump from working, resulting in the engine stalling and being unable to restart. The overheating wouldn't directly cause a shutdown; the failure to supply power to the fuel pump would.

Other potential causes for engine shutdown in hot conditions might include:

* Overheating engine: The engine's own temperature reaching critical levels and activating safety mechanisms.

* Faulty temperature sensor: An inaccurate reading from the temperature sensor could cause the engine management system to take action (like cutting fuel) prematurely.

* Other electrical issues: A problem in another part of the electrical system could affect fuel delivery or ignition.

If your 1994 Z28 Camaro is shutting down when hot, focus on diagnosing overheating issues and general electrical problems rather than assuming the fuel pump relay itself is the culprit *due to heat*.
