I put gas in my 93 ford thunderbird and now it won't run. I replaced the fuel filter and added heat and injector cleaner. What else can I do?

If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.

You need to make sure the battery has a full charge or you can't test anything.

It now will run for about a minute then chokes out. But it will only start after it sits for 20 minutes.

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to make up its mind-do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem as suggested earlier
