Question 1995 mystique won't turn over - again

My car is parked on the street and will get towed if I don't fix this sucker by tomorrow at 8am, so I am under the gun on this beautiful sunday to fix it.

I took the car off the road for 1.5 years. Then I had all the blets and fluids replaced. In August, the car just died at a light. I tried to restart it and it would crank but not turn over. I let it sit for a while then it miraculously restarted and as long as I kept my foot on the gas a little when I came to a stop it would not die. But if I did not keep my foot on the gas at a light - it would die. I had the fuel pump replaced and then I had the overheating problem, which required the impeller replacement.

After those fixes, the car ran fine for 2 months until last night. I came to a stop light and the car died. I waited for an hour and it did not restart - same problem as before - it would crank but not turn over. This morning it started on the first try. Then it would not start again. I let it sit for 3 hours then it started once the first time and has not started since.

Do I have to replace the fuel pump and fuel filter again? If so, can I do it myself and is this gonna be a bimonthly maintenance thing?
