Default Escort rs cutting out

Pulled on to a garage forecourt the other day and the engine cut out just like that and would not restart. Now car will start fine from cold but after 20 secs or so chugs and dies and wont restart. Have replaced plugs, leads, rotor and dizzy cap. Fuel pump works fine. Any ideas ? Could it be the engine coolant sensor ?
