84 2M4 This thing is killing me. Fire it up and it hums, but after about a minute or two it sputters, spits, bucks, and dies. New plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor and fuel filter. No codes are set in ECM. HELP me please. I love this little car.

It's a manual. I unplugged the coolant temp sensor and it did the same thing. I don't know if confirmed anything.

I found the problem and you might want to make a note of it. First off, dont assume anything, TEST it. While cranking I had good fuel flow. I went ahead and replaced my fuel filter. While it was removed I jumped pin G on the ALCL to 12v. This makes the fuel pump run constant. I had good flow so I hooked up the filter and assumed my pump was working fine. After hours and hours of testing every thing in the book and bypassing the (check fuel pressure test I had good flow right). I broke down and bought a fuel pressure tester. I had only about 1 PSI of fuel. I dropped the tank and found a split hose in the tank comming off the pump. I went ahead and replaced the whole thing after all it is 19 years old.
