I have a 1995 Corvette, It runs a little while and quits. I have changed the fuel regulator valve, Fuel filter, Fuel pump, Coil and coil wire. It still does the same thing. Anyone have any ideas as to what it can be? Its a 5.7 ltr engine. I can let it sit sometimes and it will crank again after a few minutes and sometime it takes awhile.

Been there, fixed that! It's your opti-spark almost guaranteed. Had exactly same symptoms. Check my post half way on first page of engines "want to see what's inside your opti-spark".

I agree...gotta be something with the ignition, possibly the ignition module.
