91 RS Camaro Dying

Ok, last year around this time my 91 RS Camaro started dying. I leave my car sitting over the summer because I go out of town. I took it to a shop and they did a list of things to fix it. They replaced the distributor, fuel injectors, spark plug wires, spark plugs, intake manifold, and coolant temperature sensor connector. 10 hours of labor and $1,160.00 later it was fixed, or so we thought.
I just replaced the fuel filter the other day. So I just got back to driving it about a week ago and heres the problem. It started out with running and starting just fine. That same day I was in the middle of driving and it just died and would not start. It would turn over but not start. I got it towed home. After it sat for a couple hours it started right up. So it did that for the next couple days. Now in the middle of driving it will die and as I'm still going it will start up again without me doing anything. After I shut if off it will go back to not starting untill it has sat for a couple hours.
PLEASE! Anyone I would very much appreaciate your help. I love this car and I do not want to get rid of it, and its very hard to be without transportation. Thank you!
