Engine cut out while driving, please help!
I have a 1992 Camaro RS that is now set up like an 88 TPI. I had issues with it a year ago with the engine cutting out when I was driving where it would run like crap for a few minutes when I started it up and couldn't find the correct idle RPM and then when I would drive it shortly after the gas would basically cut out and the car would try to stall. The only way I could try to save it was by pushing in the clutch and hitting the gas but eventually I would have to pull over and let it sit for a few before I continued driving. Over last summer my dad and I stripped out the old butchered harness and rewired the entire engine and most of the interior as well. It ran like a champ for awhile and then my speedometer died and again it started to stall quite often and the gas would cut out when I was driving. I ran the code scanner and have gotten 22 the past few times this has happened, but I do not believe it has to deal with the TPS. If anyone can help please throw out suggestions as to what might be causing this.

Fuel pressure or oil pressure? Im not sure what the fuel pressure was but the oil pressure is generally high around 60 or so until the car warms up, then it drops to around 35. I didnt take note of what the pressure was at the time however.
