Default LT1 Car cannot be restarted once warmed up.

1995 LT1 firebird formula 6speed. I took it for a drive, washed it (not the engine bay). 10mins later I went to leave, made it about halfway down the street and it started to bog/clunk/sputter and wouldn't start.

This morning it fired right up, so I let the car idle until the fan kicked on turned the car off, tried to restart. At first it "sputtered" to life than died and just cranked over after that. The car is almost stock, engine hasn't been touched, clutch, shifter, gears.

Need help asap, I'd hate to not have the car for a 3rd week down. (rear end was whining)

No codes, no engine lights or any other lights for that matter. I don't think the opti has been replaced, got the car last fall, only put 5000kms since than, 138,000kms.
