THE ENGINE STARTS WELL AS I DRIVE AND COME TO SPEED 60 MPH, ALL AT ONCE THE ENGINE WILL STALL
. JUST LIKE I TURNED THE KEY OFF, I PRESS IN THE CLUTCH AND THEN LET IT OUT AND IT STARTS AGAIN.
THIS MAY HAPPEN FIVE OR SIX TIMES IN FIVE MILES. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY,PLUGS,WIRES AND FUEL FILTER. SOMETIMES I CAN DRIVE 50 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS AND OTHER TIMES NOT EVEN TWO MILES AND IT STARTS. ANY IDEAS ?

It sounds like you may have a fuel pump problem. The fuel pump is behind the driver's seat. It sounds like you are running out of fuel.
