Sounds as if your fuel pump is not operating correctly are has gone on the fritz. Of course it also could be your fuel line filter has been clogged up to the point of not letting the fuel flow. I changed two fuel pumps in a ford until I checked the fuel line filter and found it clogged. What it would do was to start and run at low speeds for a few miles, but when I accelerated it would force the gunk in the fuel line filter up to the end and block the gas flow. When I would let it sit for about ten minutes, gravity took over and settled the gunk in the lower part of the filter and fuel would flow as long as the fuel pressure was low.

Check the fuel filter first, then the fuel pump. I think that all of the fuel pumps are now in the gas tank and is a dickens to replace.

Why does Lexus keep stalling after running awhile

Call the nearest Auto Zone and see if they offer to plug-in a "Code Reader" that displays "Fault Codes". You could luck-out and it could be a easy replacement part that they sell.You will have to drive your vehicle to the store location. Good luck.

1997 GMC Sierra 1500 6.5 diesel runs for awhile then stalls

These have a problem with a injection pump control. It is a black box on the drivers side of the Injection pump. Either that or maybe a lift pump. When it dies, after it sits a while does it start right back up?
