Help Please (im begging here)

I have a 92 Camaro with a 305 TBI. A couple weeks ago while driving it started acting up. If I tried to give it gas it acted as if a choke was on or it could not get enough gas. Never died and idled ok (minor hicups). Never died and was able to get it home by barley giving it gas. Hour later after checking the fuel sytem to see if the pump was working, which it worked fine I fired it up and it ran fine. Went ahead and replaced the fuel filter at that point to play it safe. Ran fine for a week and then today it did the same thing. Weird... Any thoughts as to what this might be?

Heh, good luck "popping it off". I had to cut mine off, which kind of made "testing" it a moot point. I had a catco replacement ready for just that eventuality though.
