I have an 87 Cutlass Ciera Brougham. 2.8l

Car has been running great untill today. it will run ad the die like its out of gas. if i wait for 10 min or so it will start and run again for another 10-15 min. then the same thing happens again.

Herd maby the ignition coil, or maby the fuel pump. is there a way to test if its the fuel system or the ignition system.

It sounds like a bad ignition module. However, here are "How To's" for checking fuel pump pressure and the ignition system:
