Hey guys, Been a while since I been on this forum. I had my car parked for the winter and I started it every once in a while. Prior to putting it away for storage I fogged the intake and filled the tank with premium fuel with fuel stabalizer. I started my FD today and it started up no problem. I let it idle for 10 min then checked the oil and it was good. Waited bout 20 minutes and went to go start it took about 10 tries till it started. I drove about 2 blocks and it just stalled on me while driving. I tried to start it 4 times and wouldnt start. So I waited 10 minutes then it started. I drove to the oil change place to get oil changed then topped off the fuel. The vehicle drove fine all day. I went to the mall for 30 minutes and came out to start it and it wouldnt start. I had to wait 5 minutes then it started. Drove a bit more and seemed to be fine. Then I went to the gym for 2 hours and started no problem. After driving for 10 minutes the car just stalled on me while driving. I put it in neutral cranking the engine while the car is moving and no go. I depress the clutch like as if its getting a push start and it started. I made it home and now im gonna need your help. Sorry for the long post. Car info 93 FD 5 speed manual.

Could be many things - When was the fuel filter changed? Plugs? Any loss of electronics?

Sorry I forgot to send all the info. The list includes Koyo Rad, Silicone Rad hose & Vac Lines, Petit Racing Intercooler, Garage Fighter AST, HKS down pipe, Apexi BOV, K&N intake & filter. Fuel filter was changed two years ago and as well as the plugs and wires. Since then there has been 3000km (1864 miles) put on the car. I dont drive the car too much. The only thing I can think of is the battery may not be to its full potential but still turns over the engine fine.

So after parking it over night it took 4 tries to start it up. I drove it for bout 15 minutes in traffic and it drove ok with the 3000k boost hesitation. I didnt step ok it hard as I was afraid it stall out. After stopping at the grocery store for 45 min it took 2 tries before it started. Driving home I decided to step on it in 4th gear traveling at 100km (60miles) at 8 pound of boost the car stalls. The rpm shows that its at 1000rpm as I was rolling and car was still in gear but it was not firing and when I step on the gas it will not accelerate. I press the clutch down couple times to get it a push start as I was rolling fast still and it started. I went home and shut it off for couple minutes and tried to start it again and it started after second try.
