Default 1997 z28 running problem

Alright guys I need your help cause I am stumped...my car just started screwing up on me...what it's doing is on cold start it is perfectly fine but once I let it run for about 30 minutes to fully warm up it starts sputtering and then shuts off. Then it takes a good 15-20 seconds to restart the car but now the tachometer doesn't work. I'm getting the code p0372 which is too few pulses...has an MSD distributor cap and rotor button that was just replaced about 5 months ago. Need help asap

Are you only getting the one pulse code? Which engine do you have? Have you checked the fuel pressure?

the lt1 you should have could be a fuel issue of some sort ,I think that code is for the opti spark ,or fuel pump pressure ,check your connections too the opti ,as well as the idea of a bleeding check valve in the pump ,some ideas
