Default 88 starting problem Please Help

Gentlemen, start my engine. Has been setting a long time but ran it to blow it out then wouldn't start the next morning. Fires instantly for a moment then stalls... turns over but won't fire again. Thought it was out of gas so I added a 3 gallon container.

Fuel pump, pressure regulator, diaphram all replaced, a couple miles ago, as well as ECM, computer, wires, plugs, tested injectors. Car has always had a problem of "loading up" and running badly after I drive it for a half hour or so but has always started and run.

Regards!

Check for codes first. Could be a MAF issue.....unplug it and see if the car starts up any better.
