Question Please help

I could really use some help here. I recently became the owner of a 95 Camaro and it has been running fine until now. I drove it to work Saturday with no issues, but when i went to start it it became rough idling and stalling out. The fuel pump was replaced about 3 months ago. Is it possible that it could just be out of fuel? The fuel gauge shows 1/4 of a tank but could the float be bad?

the positioning of the tank and fuel level sensor on the 4th gen camaro makes it so the gage drops really fast from 3/4 to e and some will run out of fuel between 1/4 and e depending on the car. my first 93 ran out of gas at just above 1/8 on the gage. this one goes to e but drops from 1/2 to e really fast. so you could be running out of fuel. are you seeing a check engine light? oh and i moved your thread to the 4th gen section for ya. welcome to the forum. enjoy.
