For starters I would clean your MAF then change your fuel filter. Also, you may want to check your connections at the distrubutor.

Hope that helps a little!

sounds like a bad fuel pump. You should be able to hear your fuel pump when you turn your key into the on postion try listning for it down buy your drivers side frame rail if its cutting in and out thats probaly your problem.

I've tried everything,fuel pump works on both tanks,coil looked worn so i replaced that.Sti;; no good.I'm convinced it's a fuel problem but can't think what it could be.A friend suggested that the CAT converter could be choked??

You can try checking your fuel pressure. I can't remember the exact pressure but it should be in the neighborhood of 40-50 psi.

The fuel pump sounds ok on both tanks.I've tried a new coil,a new Fuel pressure regulator,still no good.When it was cold this morning it started first time and ran for 10 mins before it died again,it has not started since.Any ideas??
