have you disconected or changed the battery lately- the idle needs to be reset.
my 89 regal had to be started cold -put in drive with your foot on the brake - then wait untill radiator fan turns on (open the hood first to be able to hear the electric fan kick on :)
this somehow set the warm idle speed and the problem was gone :)

Stalling and running rich. I have seen this before on a Camero. The fuel pump was weak. Not making enough pressure. This caused the fuel injector to DRIP gas instead of SPRAY gas. This caused the fuel to flow into the cylinder in a liquid form, and it did not burn well. We put in a new fuel pump and the car came to life. Good luck.

No its not common. Why do you think it quit? Remove the oil pressure sending unit and install a hand held mechanical gauge and check for pressure. If the pressure is good you have a bad sending unit.

Had fule pump and filter replaced, 3 months later, same problem, car will not start, replaced Relay Switch, still wont work. any suggestions?

I'm assuming you have the distributor out? You will need to, as the shaft has a gear on the bottom end that has a roll pin. Make sure ALL is marked so that you re-assemble it the same way. You also need to mark the rotor position, and the base of the distributor so you can put it back where it was, or you will have to re-align and time everything!

Chevy cheeped out and has been using aluminum rivots to hold the motor in place. to remove the motor remove the rivets.

best thing is to put a diagnostic comp and check for any faults!! could be somethin simple like plugs and leads
