Default 95 CAMARO Z28

Hi guys my camaro 5.7 has been giving me problems its been dieing out but restarting and running fine. Last night it died and didnt want to start finally it did i drove a mile it died again waited it started again and i got it home. I went out and bought a fuel pressure gauge hooked it up and at prime its at 39psi running it drops to 35 or 36 running at idle. I drove the car til it died with the gauge on after it died it read 38 psi. Can this be a faulty fuel pump? Thanks guys

The pump pressure is in range, I suspect an intermitant electrical problem, most likely ignition components failing as they warm up, or some loose wiring or connector. Check for spark when it fails to start.
