Picked up an 84 T-type....doesn't stay running

[84gnguy]

Car seems to run good.Been sitting for awhile.It'll run and drive,but stalls and won't start and when it does its runs for a few seconds then stalls again.The fuel pump sounds kinda weak to me..is it possible that is the issue?

Put a fuel gage on it and see what the pressure does. If it may drops out it may be the pump, filter or voltage.

Do you have a scan tool to verify the IAC, BLM's, O2's, RPM's and MAF?

No scan tool.
I will check fuel pressure
Thanks!

Did you clean the throttle body out yet? give it a basic tune up? I always go with the Slingblade method of trouble shooting, aka K.I.S.S

My 2nd Ttype sat for a long time a couple years ago. Got it going and not long after the fuel pump took a dump. Any time you get a car like that mise well start going over all the basics. Start with the fuel pressure, then figure on a full tune up after finding/fixing the problem.

I would get a cheap fuel guage from HARBOR FREIGHT.. $14,99.. 5 gallons of FRESH 93 or the Highest octane you can find. If you can get fuel filter off... replace it and cut the old one in half... Look for varnish or sediment... Worst thing to see is replacing the fuel pump and rust floating in your tank.... Lastly check vacuum to fuel regulator....
