No Fuel?

Hey im new here and have been a member on z28.com for a while but i figured this would be a better place to post my question snice this is a thirdgen board ok... When I start my car it runs fine and will for the first 2-5 minutes? then for a period of about 30 seconds up to 3 minutes or so it acts like its getting fuel then the next second its not then it is again and isnt again.. and sometimes the car will almost come to a stop if you go WOT its will act like its not getting fuel even worse but if you feather the gas it stay running then after its done this it will be ok and will not do it again except sometimes sitting at a light/stop sign but if you stop and put gas in the car it will repeat the process also if you just turn the car off and turn it back on it will not do it again if you do not leave it off for a longer period of time sry for the long first post but i just really want to get this figured out its my daily driven car

I would check the fuel pressure.. if you can ,get a gauge that you can lay on your hood , so you can see if it changes when you drive,

I might have read wrong, but it sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Sounds similar to how I'd describe one.

I'm still thinking fuel delivery.. If you had a carb with vaccuum advance disrtibutor then maybe vaccuum.

I am going to replace the vacuum lines because I was looking at them today and some had tape around them and some were not even hooked up... does anybody have a chart to show were they all go
Thanks,
Chris

Look under the hood over your right shoulder as you are facing the car. There should be a label there with the emission (vacuum line) hose routing. If not, I can post one for you.
