The car has been sitting for a period of time. When I have taken it for a drive after driving it for al while 30 minutes, the engine seams to shut down like there I not gas to the car. Once I stop, turn it off and then let it sit for a minute, it will start a again and I can move one. Then this same thing happens 5 mins latter.

What is the problem?

Check fuel pressure when it is acting up

You need a gauge. You can rent one from a parts store
