Default camaro quitting, then starting after cools.

Hi,
I am new to the forum but have found it interesting and hopefully helpful. I have a 98 v6 camaro. It has been running fine but about every couple weeks, it will not start after I turn it off then go to start it again. I have to leave it for several hours, then come back and it will start up and run fine for a while. Yesterday however, it died while it was running and when I went back to start it up, it would not start at all. One time a guy pushed the little valve on the gas rail, then squirted just a brief shot of starting fluid in the breather and it started up right after it died. Anyone who could give me some advice on this matter, I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks, Slowbreak at the present.

I have not checked the fuel pressure but I will do that. Thanks guys. Is the fuel pump in the tank or is it external? Also, is there a fuel filter that might be giving me the problem and if so, where is that located? Sure appreciate the ideas.

The fuel pump is inside the tank. Check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail fitting on top of the engine.
