Non Subaru... Camry dies occasionally

I know its not subaru but it is urgent.
My girlfriend owns a 90 model Toyota Camry, 3sfe twin cam engine.

I was driving out of caltex the other day, just idling along, and as i put my foot down to pull out onto the road, it died. lifted my foot and it came back to life. I then drove 200 odd ks without a hiccup.
The same thing has happened 4 or 5 times since, but i wasnt driving it those times. Once it has died completly.

Im guessing air flow meter (flapper type) or the TPS.
I dont think it is fuel pressure as i can flogg it full throttle and it goes fine.

Anybody have any idea what it could be

Thanks.

Seems to be a common problem. Bad coil seems to be a popular diagnosis.

Thanks but it seems to be fuel related.
I think the fuel pump might be on the way out

Cheers and thankyou

Check Alternator the fuel pump is switched off it if the brushes are getting low or regulator weak it will intermitently stop the fuel pump. many fuel pumps have been replace on camrys unessercarily cause f this problem. i have done 10-12 with the same problem. cheers Hope it helps
