Fuel Delivery Problem?

Okay this is the second time that my 87 TPI Firebird has done this to me. It will all of a sudden quit and smell heavily of fuel. Truthfully it acts like it's vapor locked. It won't start for anything. However if you pop the hood and take a screwdriver out and release the pressure behind the pressure check valve gasoline sprays out (of course) and all of a sudden the car starts and runs like nothing happened. Of course when this happens I don't have a pressure gauge with me and when I get home and check it everything is fine. Any ideas?
