My 96 buick starts and will run for a minute then die, I turn the key off and tehn restart and runs for 1 minute and dies again. At first the problem was only happening intermitantly, but now is constant. I had to change the sending unit in the tank because the metal lines were rotting and weeping. Now that everything including filter, is new I still have the same problem. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi, if you think it is a fuel issue, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Can you check for possible trouble codes? At the least, you need an obd2 code reader. When looking at no code diagnostics, the list of possibilities, is as long as your arm.
