Default Can't get Started (Really Stuck)

2002 Camaro will start only after it cools down. If I let it run a while(no problems) After a while it will bog down and shut off. If I try to start it again it won't start. If I let it sit an hour or so it will turn over. Sometimes it will struggle. I have replaced the fuel filter and I can hear the fuel pump coming on. I can drive down the highway without skipping a beat until it will eventually die. Some times I can get it started with pumping the throttle. Other times the throttle won't do anything and it just cuts out. Any ideas would be welcome because Im literary stuck. Its like when it gets warmer it will just shut off like its not relieving enough fuel.

Something is getting heat soaked. My guess is your fuel pump or crank sensor.

Step 1: Let it idle until it dies and immediately put a fuel pressure gauge on it to see if you are losing your fuel pump.

Report back after you do that.
