I have a 1989 Corvette that was running fine. Then after a long drive (several hours) it just stalled and would not start. The next day it started right up, ran for about 10 minutes and stalled and would not restart. Tried again the next day and it started and ran for 10 minutes and stall. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I changed the gas filter with no improvement. 1989 5.7 L TPI engine. JAM

Try banging on the gas tank while someone tries to start the car. if its the fuel pump the banging will make the pump to run. if it starts the fuel pump needs replaced.

My first guess would be the fuel pump. Alot of defective pumps will operate until they warm up.

Car stalling out and bot starting after being driven for awhile.
mcdevito75 Here, It"s possible the ignition Module is going bad, no way to test and if so, one day the car will not start at all.----------It can also be a vapor loc, wher the fuel is evaporating before it reaches the cylinders. Best Bet, have your local shop check both these items.
