Default Sc with a 1jz not wanting to crank

I have a 93 sc300 with A 1jz swap and up until today it's been running awesome. I was driving down the road and hit a small bump. It didnt sound like much of a hit but not even two minutes later my car slowly starts loosing power in all gears until eventually the car dies. I coasted into a Parkin lot and waited for a tow. While I was waitin I started testin things out. I've got good furl pressure I'm just guessing but I'm pretty sure I've got spark. If I let the car sit for about ten to twenty minutes it'll start and stay runnin for at least 5 minutes. Anybody got and clue as to what this might be? On a side note the car is lowered but the harness is intact. Thanks for any info fellas

fuel line may have a leak and it loosing pressure if its a warm day the gas fumes may start car for a bet then shut off check that the fuel under carriage are not smack up or rubber hose coming from the fuel tank check tomorrow morning under to see if you have puddle or in the under the hood by the fuel rail or line coming from the gas tank into the engine bay just a idea good luck keep us posted

So I checked all my fuel lines and any wires that could possibly be affected this morning. No kinks on the hard lines and not leaks on the rubber lines. Wires all look good. I started the car up and it's been purrin since about 11 am. It's running rich but its running. Something I didn't think to mention earlier the car sat for about 6 months while I was deployed so the best I can figure is after I burned through a tank of gas and it got down to the bottom it got some bad gas. I filled it up this morning and haven't had any problems with it. I'm gonna drain the tank once this one is low just to make sure but do y'all think that could have been the problem? Seems like a good solution to me but it would be too easy ya know lol. Lemme know if y'all think it might be something different thanks fellas
