I let the car idle in my driveway, after 5 min or so it died, up until it 
died it was idling fine.

What has gone wrong now?  Does this sound like a failing fuel pump?  I 
haven't run a fuel pressure test, I will latter today.  Do any of these 
symptoms sound familiar?

As a matter of fact, this is exactly how my Milano's fuel pump failed, but 
it's "more normal" for the fuel pump to simply die.  If you haven't already 
replaced the fuel filter, you may want to replace it first, and drain the 
gas tank to get rid of any crud in the tank.  It is possible that some crud 
in the line floats in and blocks the fuel line when the pump is "sucking".

Remember, free mechanical advice is always worth at least what you pay for 
it <g>.
