I have an 87 Cutlass Ciera Brougham. 2.8l

Car has been running great untill today. It will run ad the die like its out of gas. If I wait for 10 min or so it will start and run again for another 10-15 min. Then the same thing happens again.

Herd maby the ignition coil, or maby the fuel pump. Is there a way to test if its the fuel system or the ignition system.
