Default Feels like a fuel problem??

Hey, so i have a 95 Lt1 camaro and just recently rebuilt the motor, less then 100 miles on it. The car was running fine for the first few days then randomly one day when i give it gas it feels like its running outta gas. It happens at slow speeds and sometimes just randomly dies out. No idea where to even start, just replaced the fuel filter and it felt fine for the day and the next it did it again. Any ideas would be great, Thanks

Get a fuel pressure gauge and stick it on there and check it out whenever the problems arises again. That's the only way to know for sure.

Do all what he said, and if everything checks out ok, start working on checking spark.

SES light on? Probably would be a long shot, but if its on, its usually going to point you in the right direction if the DTC is related to the problem.

I agree. Fuel pressure regulator is the easy fix, fuel pump is the more expensive one.

Ideally, you'd know or knew of someone that had one you could borrow real quick, but alot of parts stores are offering free PCM scanning. I know the AutoZone here in my town will anyway.
