1980 280ZX (runs then dies)

[walton99]

Ok, I can't figure this one out for the life of me. I've got a 1980 280ZX, anniversary edition, 2.8 fi, 5 speed, pretty much all stock. Here's what it's been doing lately. While driving home last week I came off of the highway to a stoplight, while waiting for it to turn green it idled at 700 just fine, as soon as the light changed I gave her a little gas and she died, it took about 10 minutes for her to start back up, and when she did I was able to limp her back to the house. Since then she will start up fine and run well for the first few minutes, after approximately 3 minutes the idle becomes labored and if I do nothing she will just die. If I try to give her gas the engine will do one of two things, immediately stall or chug for a few seconds and then rev normally. The fuel pressure is a consistent 34-36 psi after the fuel filter and both filters have been changed. It's sounds like a fuel problem somewhere but I'm not sure exactly what's going on. Thanks in advance for your help.

well I figured it out, it was the fuel pressure regulator
