Help - engine runs bad when warm

Ok i have a 1994 camaro z28 with the LT1 and i can start it let it warm up and once it hits about 170 degrees it starts sputtering and if i give it gas it dies. After it dies i can try and start it but all it does is crank. I know its getting fuel and i just replaced the ICM because it tested bad. If i let it cool down it will start up fine and run great until it warms up again and does the same thing. Im on a limited budget and dont want to just start replacing parts PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Re: Help

Your getting fuel ... but what does your fuel pressure look like ??? is the pressure dropping when
your car starts to sputter ?????

Re: Help - engine runs bad when warm

Heat soak can also affect the optical cam position sensor in the Opti (sets a code - scan it) or the fuel pump. Measure the fuel pressure. "Getting fuel" doesn't help if it's not at the right pressure.
