Have you tried to pull any DTC codes. Here is a link for you so you can pull some codes, but you may have a bad Ignition Control Module (ICM) it's around $40.00 at Auto Zone and they can give you the step by step instruction to replacing it with common tools. The ICM is common to go bad after a few years due to time and corrosion. It's location is under the rotor in the distributor, as it heats up if fails or any changes in the engine speed. Check the wires to make sure there are no damages. Keep me posted be glad the help. http://www.troublecodes.net/GM/
If you have an other car and there is an Auto Zone, lone out a fuel pressure gauge and see where your fuel pressure is. Auto Zone will have the step by step instruction for you to get the fuel pressure readings from the shredder valve. Can't recall what the fuel pressure should be when fuel is primed and when it's the engine is running. If your in the low area, you may not have enough fuel pressure to activate the injectors when it calls for. Thinking it's around 42 PSI to 45 PSI on the TPI engine. When the engine is running the fuel drops around 5 PSI and you may be at the bottom of the minimum amount of fuel pressure in the system to keep the engine running when called for more fuel. Then we can try the fuel filter change too if it has not been done yet. Keep me posted friend.

It's called a Schrader valve. "Shredder" is pretty damn funny though. I've got a 92 Camaro and I'm with Molson on this one...replace the ignition module and fuel filter, you'll be good to go. Those modules are **** so stick with an AC Delco brand.

no codes i was thinking it was fuel related cause it would die after gas pedal was applied found a fourm were someone had the same problem and they disconected the injectors until they found a bad one and said it was shorted and made the injector driver short out in the ecm done that and found #3 injector not working and unpluged it car ran better thought this would fix the problem but no back to square one
