Default Sputter

I have a 96 LT1 I purchased back in January of this year. Car has 46000 Originial miles. Car has been fully tuned by dealership upon my purchase. I work on the road a lot and of course it has sat for about three months. Today I'm home and we have a parade today and it decides to sputter and cut off several time. My first thought was water in fuel, or ethanol at bottom of tank. Then someone said coil. Well we continued to drive and it seem to get better, with a little sputter and did not cut off anymore. Have anyone of you experience what I have discribed. Thanks for any help before going to dealership.

I would check the fuel pressure and make sure the drain by the fuel cap is clean. would be surprized if the dealer did much more than lie to you
