my 1993 j30 starts up okay and ran okay but after 15 minutes of driving if i stop or slow down i lost power and it take some time to build up again. Once i stop then the car doesn't start easily. i had to hold the ignition in start position for a few minutes and it seems as if it build power again and will eventually start. if i leave it for a few hours it will start okay again but when i drive it will go through the same routine. Could it be the Crank Sensor, or what is it ? i need help bad.

Bad gas? Clogged fuel filter?

Don't crank your starter for more than 10-20 seconds at a time if you can possibly avoid it. It will overheat and be damaged. Try depressing the gas pedal 1/3 of the way when starting. This isn't the soluton to your problem but it might get a little more fuel into the cylinders.

Check out the fuel filter. It could very well be clogged. Can you hear whining from the fuel pump?
