Help!!!
I have an 84 z28, with a 305 tbi. The other day I changed the spark plugs, wire set, dist. cap, and pickup coil. The following day it was running fine until it stalled when I came to a stop. It would turn on but die right away unless I gave it gas. I sat for about 5 Minutes and tried again, and it started. So I turned back around and left it at home. Now it'll start but I have to give it has until it stays running. After about 5 minutes of idling it'll start to shake and die. Any clue what it can be?? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Help!!!
There are so many possibilities as to boggle the mind.
Vacuum leak
Defective plug wire(s)
Mis-routed plug wires
Defective spark plug(s)
Faulty pickup coil
Faulty IAC
Faulty fuel pump, or low voltage to pump
Faulty ECM
Low battery voltage
The list goes on.
