The car will run fine for 10 minutes then it starts to act like it is out of fuel. I have replaced the distributor cap rotter and fuel filter. The car set for 2 years.

If a car sits that long then the fuel in the tank is bad, also the fuel pump will need to be replaced. Fortunately, you can get to the pump by lifting the rear seat and removing the access panel, then remove the pump and clean out the fuel tank. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response.
