well, if anyone is interested it has been fixed. the problem was the power transistor, and its part of the distributor. so if you have a problem like this with a 4g37 it might be a distributor. thanks all for the recommendation.
sounds like a fueling issue either by bad MAF readings or low fuel pressure. When it stops being able to start use some brake cleaner, spray in the intake and see if it starts if so its a fueling issue, Bad fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, low maf readings, if only when it runs for a minute possible oxygen sensor issue. Also while its running and everything is sealed up you can spray brake cleaner around the intake flange and Throttle Body to see if you have vacuum leaks.
 
Currently I don’t have a MAF in the car, do you think that could cause the problem or just another one?

I also don’t have an 02 sensor, for now. We’re gonna get a new exhaust and with that put in a 02 sensor

Thanks for the info

starter fluid is a much better choice. Brake parts cleaner can be pretty harsh, plus not all of it is flammable.

carb cleaner seems what most people use for this, but you could also use starter fluid i guess. Brake parts cleaner is good for getting oil and grease off shit but its bad for rubber, plastic, paint and all that.
