Got car out from storage, started, took for test run, idling in driveway, it dies.

So i got my car out from storage, took it for a test drive and it ran great. I pull into my driveway, and let it idle while i go get ramps to change the oil. As i walk away, it dies. I try to start it and it starts ok, idles for a second then dies. Rpms go a BIT lower, then dies. It didn't sputter or "stall" as much as it's just dying which makes me think fuel. Later that day i start it, and its running fine now, no dying, so i'm thinking it was fuel related.

Maybe the fuel filter was clogged? Any guesses? Fuel pressure looks normal, but i checked it when the car started running normal, so not a good indicator.

Thanks

Clogged filter makes sense to me.
