Serious confusion.

Serious confusion.
First of all its a 98' 2.8 115k on it. Not new to the Audi scene, I've just never had this happen before (with any cars of mine at all.)
Here's the scenario....
Went to a carnival with a few friends, car drove fine. Drove home... still fine. Wake up the next day to go to work, and on my way to work the car started shaking and juttering. Almost like it was being starved for fuel. Go to slow down for the stop, put it into neutral and it just dies right out. Started it back up, turned over perfectly fine. Continued on my way, same exact thing happened. Finally got it to turn over, then nursed it home.
To me, automatically right off the bat I would assume fuel pump/filter(if that is the problem). But my OB2 machine didn't throw any codes for incorrect fuel, fuel levels, so on so fourth or anything along those lines. I do have a Fuel line/pump pressure tester (cant find it though.) I would just hate to have to cough up $300+ for a fuel pump and have it not be the issue.
Any suggestions or knowledge would be greatly appreciated!

Does not throw any codes for misfires. Plus after the car has sat for about an hour - hour and a half. It will fire right up, but once it gets warm it dies right out. You have to feed it gas through the pedal or she wont even budge.

How warm are you talking about? Sometimes a coolant temp sensor can go bad and only show symptoms when the motor warms up a bit. Check the coolant temperature using an OBD scanner to see if it's in the right ballpark. Even if your gauge works perfectly, it uses a different thermoresistor on a different circuit.
