Completely Lost Help

I have finally given up on my knowledge of LT1s. First off my fuel pump went out and also jumped timing. So I replaced the fuel pump, reset it to top dead center and bought a new timing chain. I have replaced the opti less than 6 months ago and I have good spark and fuel. I did this all without driving the car since I have a limited amount of time working on my car. So everything should be good to go right well some what. I get the car running drive it around for about 45 mins. Now I babied it around nothing serious slowly got it up to 95 but when I stuck the gas it would bog down and didnt like that much so I knew something was wrong. I go to fill my car up with new gas and turn the engine off. I started pull out of the gas station accelerate up to speed get to about 3500 rpm and the engine cuts out and now wont start up again. I check the battery and alternator both are fine. I am up against the ropes and I am getting my *** kicked by my baby. If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

the 95 will not work with most standard code readers b/c it is an obd2 connection with obd1 computer.

I had that problem on a Dakota, it was the same **** till i had somone with a shop that knew what they were looking at. You need to go to a shop and tell them it is a OBDII connector but it is OBDI, if they are worth a **** they will be able to help you.
