Re: 91 Firebird ,,acts like it running out of gas

A bad ignition module will act like that. They usually work ok when cold, then act-up when they get hot. Some auto parts stores are able to test them.

If you remove/replace it, be sure to apply heat sink compound to the bottom side.
They'll burn up quick without it.
