Fuel starvation is pretty much the only option.

How old is your filter?

A clean filter first of all. If you're still having problems then things will get more interesting. Any chance the car has had WVO or other "alternative" fuel run through it?

Also, check out the wire going to the electromagnet on the back of the fuel pump. I know mine gets loose at the connector sometimes causing it to cut out and not start on occasion.
