5.0 runs for 5 mins then dies out??

I have a 1990 Gt hatchback never used to die out on me before. I did a t-5 swap awhile back and ever since then it runs for 5 mins the dies out but it starts right back up. What could it be?

Are you running a Smog delete or just have the smog pump disconnected?

did you mess with your fuel lines at all?

Smog pump has nothing to do with it. I ran a disconnected smog pump for months.

How does it run when it runs?

it runs fine. just when am at a stop it idles low until it dies or until i take off. but when i drive it for awhile it shuts off and doesnt start up for a few hours.
