Default Possible fuel Pressure Problem

I have a 94 LT1 Camaro and after driving for a short while, the car will die out. It takes about 10 minutes or so, then the car will start again. Any help would be great, I do not know much about Camaro's. Let me know what you guy's think, or send me a message. New to the fourm, thanks in advance.

That does sound like a fuel pump/ injector pressure issue, it may be a failing fuel pump. Does it crank up fine? Any codes? You may need to hook up a fuel pressure gauge to gauge test valve. Are there any other problems like the car randomly shaking? A high Idle?

first need to find out if its a fuel problem or a spark problem. when it wont start do a fuel pressure test or check for spark. could be fuel pump, ignition modual and a few other things.

So today I messed with the car for a little while, it was kind cold out side so I didn't spend a lot of time on it. The car did not want to start at all. I sprayed small amount of starter fluid to see if it would try to start and it did, but then shut off right away. I was looking for the fuel pump relay but was un able to find it. Being that the fuel pump has been changed out, I figured I would check the relay next. Any info would be a great help, Thanks!!!

Sorry for the delayed response guys. It has been cold and rainy, so I have not had a chance to mess with the car. I finally got a fuel pressure kit, but unsure of what adapter to use. If any one could help that would be great. Thanks.
