My 92 V6 Camaro Turns Off While i am driving???

Hi, i have a 1992 Camaro Rs V6 3.1

i just changed the Fuel injectors to it last week.

Now This Week i was driving home one night and it staled out on me out of no-ware, like a block away from my house, so i tried to turn it back on it cranked but it did not start it felt like it was not getting any fuel or something, anyway i waited like :30 Minutes talking to a friend to help me push it, so when i got in the car i tried to crank it one more time and it started.

A second Time this week the same thing happened to me so this time when i tried to crank it back on, i stood silent to hear if the fuel pump in the back goes on when i turn the ignition on and it does make the noise that it should, but the car still did not turn on it cranked normal but did not turn on.
I waited like 15min and it stared normal.

Some people say it can be the fuel pump it over heats or the fuel pusher i am not sure what it can be i need a good opinion because to take that gas tank out its a lil bit of work i will do it but i rather narrow down the problem First

O Wait i remember also that
about 3or4 weeks Ago i did hear in the back like the pump was stuck like a honing sound but i thougt it was because the tank was empty so i put a full tank after that i had no problem. In till Now

Does it only happen when you are low on gas?
Is there a pressure buildup in your gas tank?
Does the car sputter / backfire when going WOT?

I'd check your sensors first, my bird still does this every once in awhile and it drives me nuts. The guy above me sounds like he had the same problem. Also check your fuel filter, that little guy can get clogged with rust from the gas tank.

I'd had the same problem about a month ago and it turned out to be the fuel pump. I would do the basic checks to narrow the problem down. Check the fuel system, ignition, see if the car's getting spark, etc.
