Fuel pump help

So this car is on its 3rd fuel pump in a span of a year and each pump dies the same way via what I think is it getting heat soaked and not able to put out enough pressure. When it dies it just sputters to a stop and after cooling for a hour or so fires right up and drives normal for a little bit. Replacing the pumps has fixed the issue temporarily until a couple months later. Im running a delphi fuel pump the whole assembly not just the electric pump.

FYI the car sat for 3 years before ownership and I cleaned tank which had no rust and barely any debris. It has a replaced pump, filter, the rubber hoses of the fuel lines, and it’s been cleaned so nothing in that relation. I don’t think it could be injectors either cause the if it was a bad injector it wouldn’t run right but it should at least stay on.

Also throttle doesn’t help keep it alive

EDIT: this only happens in hot weather upper 80s and onward in Fahrenheit never in colder weather or below 80s ‼️

Ik these problems are so common in there’s cars but my window started bugging out after I adjusted the striker and it started going up and down via the little switch in the striker which made it start binding and making a sort of brrr noise so I stopped touching it and now when I’m fixing it I got it to lower but it won’t move at all now. I think it might be out of the tracks but I can’t figure out a way to move the window up. I stopped messing with the switch after recording so I don’t burn the motor out but any help would be appreciated.
