Default weird problem please help

Hi,

I have a 90 dx hatch, it will start and idle forever, but when I rev it up to about 3000 rpm after about90 seconds it will shut off and it won't restart. I took the cover off the throttle body and tried using starting fluid, and it still would not start. I'm getting fuel to the throttle body as well. After I let the car sit for a few hours it will restart, and do the same thing.


Thanks

I replace all the filters, and the fuel pump less than 2000 miles ago, bye the way I didn't have this problem until I parked the car for 4 months.

Did you try to look at spark plugs right after it shuts off?
Is it doing this hot or cold or both?

What I'm thinking - it may be running extremely rich for some reason. If you check the plugs and they are wet, then you know you have to dig in this direction
