Default New guy here, Looking for some help with my 97

Having a few problems with my 97, when I go to start it, it turns over but won't start. 10 minutes of doing this and it finally starts. Then when driving it will occasionally stall, it also does this when idling. Any ideas on what I should check? I've replaced the distributor and rotor, was going to try replacing the ignition coil but I'd like a second opinion before I keep throwing money at it.

Thanks,
Mike

Fuel pressure is the first place I would check.
