Default Just bought a 91 crx

and i cant seem to keep the damn thing running. I start it up and it idles for 5-7 min and then just dies and wont restart. I tried opening the banjo bolt on the fuel filter (the one that leads to the motor) and air comes out. i retightend it and the car started again. could it be that hose ? ANY IDEAS
