Default starting issue;;;;;;;; fuel?

pulled into parking lot,came out of store car started then died after going 200 feet, wouldnt start but cranked,,,waited 15 mins. car started after cranking the heck out of it as if it was flooded, fuel pump seemed to run fine could it be the fuel filter or something further up the food chain? oh and when it did start it was only after holding pedal down while cranking, new injectors and regulator so i doubt they are the problem as they have been acting perfect for a year..... thanks in advance. 91 L98 6sp all stock
