This has happen to me twice now, the car will stall just like is runs out of gas, and won't restart. Both times I had over a half tank of gas. The first time it happened I put five gallons of gas in and it started right up. The next time it happened the car started the next morning without doing anything. Any ideas why this is happening?

could be a lot of things.... being 91 regardless of model it's EFI.... it could be a plugged fuel filter, plugged fuel pump sock, fuel pump going bad, fuel pump relay... the gas could also just be a coincidence...

When it acts like it doesn't have gas have you actually checked for any pressure in the rail?

Next time it happens, check if you have spark while cranking the engine. You need to determine if it's a spark problem or fuel problem. It's possible the distributor/coil is acting up when hot.
