Car acts like it is out of gas, engine light comes on. will start up run for a few seconds then die. driving down the road will do the same thing, pull over, wait ten minutes and runs and drives again.
The car needs to be scanned. It is free at Autozone, Oreilys, and Advance autoparts. Get the Code number for the bad part. The clerks can tell you what is wrong.

i would check your ignition system. you would need a meter for this but look for broke or loose connections. if it was a fuel problem i dont think it would just start up after 20 minutes. or you might try your ignition switch. if its shorting or something then ya well it would cut your engine off real quick

that would probalbly fuel filter or a blockage in the tank

Turn on the key and listen by the fuel tank for the fuel pump to hum. A common problem is low fuel pressure. It will build pressure when the key is turned, use that fuel, and then the pressure drops. Kind of like when you're using a squirt gun that's getting empty.
SOURCE: Driving down the road the engine will suddenly shut off.
Check the fuel pump and fuel filter.if the fuel is getting blocked due to dirt in fuel or clogged filter then the car will stop in between while driving because the flow of fuel will stop due to this dirt in the fuel.This has to be checked.
There are many other possibilities that has to be checked in this case.
1)Sometimes the car will just plain stop running if there is a faulty/weak coil wire.
2)If your car has safety alarm system in it then this can be the other reason .in this case either the alarm needs to be disabled or the alarm needs to be replaced.
3)In some cases its the problem of ECU .it gets short or faulty due to electrical short circuit in the car.
Also other common possibilities that has to be checked are.
1)The voltage of the battery .It should be exact 12 volt.
2)The condition on the alternator .if the alternator is weak or faulty it will not let the battery charged.when the car is running at that time the alternator keeps on charging the battery.if the alternator is faulty it will not charge the battery.so this has to be checked.
3) The other thing to be checked is the spark plug. and the coil pack.if the coil pack is weak or faulty it will not let the spark to come when you start the car.
Also the other best option is to get the car scanned at car diagnosis center.at diagnosis center you will receive the error codes of which part is faulty or weak in car , due to which the problem is occurring.
At www.autozone.com its free to get car scanned.they also deals in selling parts .so you can get the faulty parts replaced by their technicians.
