Change the primary fuel filter. Its a small inline filter at the driver's side inner fenderwall. I've had the crud settle in the filter and let fuel flow after sitting awhile, only to re-clog soon thereafter.

It's a $3 filter, but if you don't have one immediately available, take the old one off and blow the crud out of it backwards. That will get you on the road at least.

Then change the secondary (spin-on) filter soon after, because whoever sold you the car left the fuel system crudded up.
