Default Not sure what the problem is

I have a 1997 camaro. the starter turns over, the engine runs but acts like its starving for fuel. When I give it a little fuel, she stops running. There are times when she just runs with out a problem. Tuned it (Spark plugs & distributor cap & rotor) also replaced the fuel filter. No check engine light or codes to down load to identify/pinpoint the problem. Any thoughts.

Ohm out your coil and test the Ignition Control Module (ICM). Autozone tests both for free.

Good luck and kill Rustanks!!!

Since it acts like it's running out of fuel, have you checked to see if it is running out of fuel? Check your fuel pressure, could be either your fuel pump going out, or a bad pressure regulator.
