Won't stay running after changing fuel system and sensors, pressure regulator, ignition modulator. Starts up and runs fine for a few minutes then quits. Sounds kie it is bogging down then quits and either won't start up or if it does it does the same thing. Won't idle after it is warmed up either. WHY?

First, verify fuel pessure. Even though it is new, you must still check it.

Look for vacuum leaks on the intake.

Idle air control was common for failing from excessive carbon build up.

Did you have it checked for codes?
