Default Engine stalling

i hadnt driven my car for about a week, and i got back to it and the battery was dead, so i jumped it, and since then almost everytime i drive it it will just die while im driving it. then i have to sit and wait a few minutes before i can start it back up, most of the time it will just die again right when i crank it up. any help??

well my 96 gt was doing that last week but it was due to it over heating, it would stall and id let it cool off and start it again goin a few miles before it stalled again. if you are having any coolant issues then you might be overheating. but if its dying right after you crank it then i doubt its that.

well i went and got my battery and alternator tested and there both just fine, so im thinking its not electrical, unless its something else, im thinking it might be something with the fuel like water got in it when it rained here or something, i cant possibly imagine what could have happened to it from it just sitting, and jumping the battery, cause it was working just fine before i left it.
