97 Trans Am shutting Down

I Have a 97 Trans Am with the LT1 350 in it and it shuts down on me just driving down the road and will not restart right away I have to leave it sit.... It acts like the anti theft has kicked in it will just sit there and crank over I have all lights and power to everything except the tach does not move at all when turning it over if anyone has any ideas please let me know

Sounds like it's time for new injectors. Happened to me before. Starts fine when everything cools.

You should check out some sort of 4th gen site. This is a 3rd gen site. Exclusively 82-92.

Sounds more like the fuel pump relay. Just replaced mine last month with similar problems, runs like a champ now! good luck. Relay was only 20 bucks or so....
