Default Started having problems with my 99 Z...

Car is a daily driver....temperatures lately have been in the teens. Today I drove my car to work just fine. 8 hours later fired it up, waited a few minutes for a truck to move, put it in reverse (automatic), and it died. Tried a couple times to start it and no good. Let it sit for a few minutes and it wanted to start but didn't. Let it sit for 10 minutes and it started, I gave it a little gas and it died. I'm guessing its a fuel problem but don't know where to start...any suggestions?

Fueling is the first thing I would check too. Get a guage and check the fuel pressure on the schrader valve on the DS fuel rail. Should be 58psi.

Agreed. I had two cars that behaved the exact same way and they ended up being fuel pump failures...
