Check for vacuum leaks. Also try taking a spray bottle of water and misting the plugs, wires, and coils, then turn off the lights and watch in the dark for any blue flashing. If you see that you need to deal with that. Also test the coils and TPS, both of these are covered in the tech info area.

I found no arching, checked for air leaks, came home today ran fine for 10 mins then slowly started to peter out, then would not start back up, couldn't be fuel pump whats happening, we had 14 days of rain then i had problem

Test your coils. Starting to sound like a weak spark

I'd also check the exhaust for back pressure.

Sounds a bit like a clogged cat taht won't let the engine run.

When I first noticed a slight miss in exhaust last week, I thought it maybe a plug , Changed plugs , still hearing a litte miss from exhaust,I usually work till 5-6, I came homeMonday and Y-day,ran it for about10-12 mins ran fine, then tried to rev-up, noticed it was mellowing out ( geting warm) during rev-up hearing miss and puff of air or what ever you call it in motor, so it gently stalled, No hard problems just stopped, I do not think its fuel pump DO YOU? something with heating up, from other sernarios that I have read in threads. Thanks for you help, I Do not have alot of money to replace things that isn't the problem and possible parts that Advanced will not take back!

Pull the coils and check for corrosion. How did the plugs look? Did they all look the same?

I agree with Bill, pull your O2 sensor and start the engine. You will get a SES light and it will run rich. But if the cat is clogged it whould run better because the gasses can get out threw the O2 bung.

I had my neighbor(mechanic -hot rods) help me quick before it rained i unplugged the o2 sensor,
would not start plugged back and started running rough, only way keep running is move throttle

Not unplug, remove from the bung.

we pulled both disconnects to the fuel lines on top of motor cranked engine neither hose had fuel come out,
