I've replaced the ignition coil
I've replaced the fuel pump
I've replaced the main relay
I don't have air conditioning
114,000 miles on it
If it's 80 degrees or hotter, it will stall after a few minutes of driving
It doesn't smell like rotten eggs, so the catalytic convertor is good
When I try to start it up right after it stalls, it starts up for a second, then shuts back down
It starts back up in a couple minutes
I've spent $836 so far, and I need help diagnosing this problem, or else I'm going to have to sell this thing for parts!

Just some FYI. Just because your exhaust might smell like rotten eggs that doesn't mean the catalyst is bad. That actually means the catalyst is working.
In that two minute time window when it doesn't want to start you have find out what is missing. Is it missing spark, fuel, injector pulse, or more than one of those. Once you find out what is missing you can troubleshoot as to why that is missing. Your just wasting your money by throwing parts at it unless you have a horseshoe mounted on your forehead.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
