Do the longer run times come after the car has sat for a little while? 
 
The CIS system uses mechanical injectors. They are opened by the pressure from the fuel dizzy. The other thing I'd check is the be sure the fuel pump is running. There is some kind of fuel supply problem from what you are describing.

It was around 50F over the weekend and yesterday it was high 30's and
raining hard all day long. So, no ice.

Don't know when he last had the fuel filter changed. But he is
definitely getting fuel at the start. A couple of times he was able to
get it running for about 1 minute and took the opportunity to move the
car to a better area of the parking lot before it died again. Engine
ran normal during that time. Could rev it up and down no problem.

It's very consistent in that it starts immediately each and every time
and then slowly dies after 5 secs.
