My 95 318 4x4 runs but after a couple minutes it spit and sputters then eventually dies. Then it will not start. If i wait an hour it will start. I need advice asap. thanks!

 

Fuel pressure?

 

now it idles at 1000, any ideas. I have not yet checked the fuel pressure.

 

IAC. Possibly TPS. Could be any number of things. Need to know what you DON'T have, when it doesn't want to start. (fuel, or spark, or both)

 

I am with hayYou check the fuel pressure, It sounds like the truck is running out of fuel.

Possible causes
Fuel pump
Fuel pressure regulator
MAP sensor
TP sensor

Are you getting a check engine light? If so good this is a good place to start.

 

Actually started it up and idled for a few minutes abd drove it. I imagine 20 miles or so and it ran great! Im thinking fuel froze. it was a high of negative five, today its around five above. I had two trucks that wouldnt run. Both got gas at the same store at the same time. Both wouldnt run. So im just thinking bad gas???

 

That is the most logical explanation. Put dry gas in all during the cold winter months from now on to prevent that issue.
