Passably the cover on you motor should stop water from getting in or you got old fuel, or bought bad fuel if possible water in fuel tank buy a bottle of heat this will remove water from fuel tank, replace fuel filter if one or drain moisture trap on engine fuel system.

SOURCE: Starts fine when cold, after running dies on idle then wont start

Sounds like the fuel filter is dirty and needing to be changed. It's cheap and easy to swap out.

SOURCE: 1985 Corvette, starts runs rough then dies

I have a 85 coupe,the pumps are notorous for going out.Best bet is empty the whole tank.the pump .Is easy to pull its under the filler door.1 make sure its not your security system shutting off
your injectors .2 turn key in on poss and open gas door you should hear the motor.If not
disconnect batt and remove.be car e you dont lose the screen.once out dry off and hook up to any batt to check.there only 30 bucks but make sure you ground it out right and dont turn it on in a dry tank ,you will burn it out.

SOURCE: 2000 VW Beetle dies occasionally and won't start for a while

run a scan tool on it and make sure there are no codes, if there is codes address those problems first, if no codes.. next time it won't start check for fuel preasure. it is probably a fuel pump getting ready to go out or they may be a large amount of something other than gas clogging the pick-up sock at bottom of fuel pump.

SOURCE: engine dies, starts rough

Most large parts stores read codes free. Most common cause is crank sensor, but I'd have code checked before buying anything.

Have 1999 Chev Malibu 2.4L. On startup at times runs rough, strong smell of fuel, code P0300, check engine light flashes, all other systems test fine. Restarting after about 30 min, she runs smooth.

When I see that code and those symptoms I typically start by looking at the timing belt. When the timing belt gets stretched it will cause this code to come up. The other cause could be a bad Crank of Cam position sensor but we need to eliminate the timing belt as the problem first. To check if the timing belt is the problem do a compression check on the motor to see if you have 0 compression on any cylinders. Once you have done that let me know the results and we will proceed to the next series of checks.
