Car stalls out after running for 5 minutes or may run for 30 minutes then chug and stall out. ---

Not enough info to diagnose. If you are going to do your own work, post back with lots more info. If you are not going to fix it yourself, find a good independant shop and tell them everything about the condition. ---

My guess would be a bad fuel pump but more info would certainly help. ---

A faulty ignition control module will cause stalling after the engine has run for a while.

Yeah good luck. Listen to Tester though. If you can check for spark and/or fuel pressure when it stalls, that would help pin point it to an electrical or fuel problem. I had the same problem with my Riviera and sorry to say never did figure it out. I’d take it out with a test light plugged in and a fuel pressure gauge taped to the windshield and in about 3-4 miles it would stall. No codes, fuel pressure ok, still had spark, etc. Would start right up again for a few miles and stall. I replaced a lot of stuff (ignition switch, computer, coil, module, several sensors, crank sensor, cleaned grounds, etc.) After 520,000 miles I gave up and traded. Happy ever since. The car is now a washing machine. ---

First step is a proper tune-up. Spark plugs, spark plug wires, dizzy rotor & cap, engine air filter, battery and charging system test, test the idle air control gadget, verify proper idle rpm and ignition timing, and compression test. I expect you’ll find what’s wrong as you go down that path. I have a similar era Corolla and that’s where I’d start.
