Runs bad after warm up

I have a 91 firebird v6 3.1, it runs good when I first start the car but after it warms up it starts running bad and then dies. Any ideas?

I checked the fuel presure and it was 5psi, checked the filter and it is new and clear.
Now it will only run real bad all the time so I think it's the fuel pump.
