Sputtering, weird hum, and stalling....

I hate to have to post this thread but after getting my 3rd gen on the road for one day im experiencing problems...

To start off when the car is started there is a weird hum coming from the drivers side, back of the car. At first I thought it might just be a speaker, but a friend was listening to it and thinks its the fuel pump. While driving it at stop signs it was rough accelerating and would sputter, and would be a little rough going from 1st to 2nd gear. Later that day (actually an hour ago) i was just driving around enjoying having the car out, I stopped at a stop light and the car stalled. I didnt think anything of it, I just assumed its an old car, hasnt been driven in awhile, and it happens. About 20min after that I was driving around again, I stopped at a stop sign and went to accelerate, and my car just moved 10 feet and died. Wouldn't start or anything.

I called to get help and kept trying to move the car, it fianlly started, drove 30 feet, and it died. I waited 10min, it started, and i drove a 1/4 mile and it died again. Then it sat for another 15min while I waited for my dad to come, he came, started the car and drove it home about 4 miles. I have no clue what it could be, or anything. Any help is appreciated, and I forgot to add the cars a 1991 Camaro Z28.
