LT1 noob-needs help car cutting out
O.K. I really need some help here. Car is a 95 that starts cutting out/bucking after about fifteen minutes of driving. Does not stall when stopped. Happens under light acceleration and just steady driving.Can't remember if it happens under WOT. Tried to put a fuel pressure gauge on the car but I think I need a 90* adaptor because it's tough to get to the shrader valve. If it was the fuel pump wouldn't it do it all the time?

Re: LT1 noob-needs help car cutting out
I have some more info 
Got the fuel pressure gauge hooked up and she's at 38lbs @ idle and 44lbs @ WOT. So I took her for a ride with the gauge hooked up and as soon as she fully warmed up she started bucking/surging. She's doing this at part and full throttle and the FPG was not fluxuating, so to me it sounds like the fuel is fine. Any easy way to test the opti? It does look kinda oily in the opti area. I recently bought this car for my wife and it started doing this about two weeks after we took ownership.
