Default My Del Sol keeps dying

I've got a 93 DelSol with stock almost everything. The car started doing this randomly at first, but it's now a pain in my *** atleast once a week and at embarassing times. The car will idle low and die. When I try to give it gas when it does start, it revvs a little bit and just dies...Like it's out of gas. So most of the time I have to let the car sit for 10 minutes before it'll start. At first it was only after I get gas, now it does it whenever. I know it has something to do with the fuel system, I just don't know what it could be.

weird that it happened after u got gass.. maybe ur running soo rich but then ur plugs would be fouled evenetually and then not start at all...

have you messed with any of the sensors? try messing with the fitv and iac.. any codes? more info would probably get you more responses

Like I said, most of it is stock...It started doing it on it's own. After it started, I thought I did everything to fix it, but apparently not. The fuel filter has been replaced, plugs are fine and new-ish, timing belt is brand new and timed, and I took out my injectors by hand and cleaned them...they should be ok. All of the wiring and sensors have been untouched.

the problem may be your injectors are stuck open and flooding your cylinders or the opposite and they are clogged and cuasing the action like you are running out of gas. I would go with one of your injectors are stuck open and flooding since you have to wait 10 minutes for the fuel to evaporate until it happens again.
To test this, run your car and use a long screwdriver and put the driver end on the fuel injector and put your ear against the butt of the handle and listen for the ticking of the injector opening and closing. Test all of them that way and if you find one that isn't that may be the root of the problem.
You can also bring it to a shop to get them tested. Hope this helps towards bringing your car back to life. Good luck
