off.  Started it back up and it was fine for like 5 min
then it did it again .

power. So we changed the fuel filter and fuel pump
and it started working fine.  Well 2 days ago i was

Check and clean all the battery cable connections. These connections need to be absolutely clean, free of corrosion and tight. Also check the electrical connections at the starter. How old is the battery?
