My 84 300zx turbo will run fine at idle, but when I drive it, in about a mile or 2 it will begin to miss and eventually die. Let is sit for a few minutes, it will start back up and run again for a mile or so, then die. I can let it idle for an hour with no issues, but when I drive it, it acts like it's running out of gas. Has new fuel pump, injectors, filter. Pressure regulator, allow ignition parts.
Anyone have any ideas??

My first suspect would be the fuel pump, then maybe the fuel filter since you say you already replaced them the Ignitor and or Coil would be next on the list, also the distributor itself. first thing is to check the ecu for codes. if there are no codes present when it dies and will not restart, test for spark.
