Default Possible fuel issues.

I just bought a C-5 Corvette yesterday it is a 2002 with a six speed manual it drove just fine yesterday was driving it around a lot it had a little bit of a weird way it reacted to revving but other than that it seemed fine today I started up the car and went for a drive but within about 10 minutes the car started to sputter and lost all power I pulled over on the side of the road and it died all together I was able to restart it but it only would run for a second or two and it did not run very well at all seems to beMiss firing and not idling well and then it would die if anybody has any ideas of what this might be I’m thinking possibly a fuel filter or just bad fuel in general maybe something to do with ignition coils or spark plug something along those lines if you could give me any information that you can that would be great thank you very much.

This will be almost impossible to diagnose without looking at some data…I’d use the DIC and see what codes you may have and post them here if there are any !!

I only had one code and it was for a misfire. Outside of that no other codes have come on.

first thing i would check if fuel pump works. pull the relay and jump 30 and 87. this will keep the pump running all the time. if it does start the car. if it still runs like **** you can rule out pump. relyes 42 or swap relays. next to itif the pump doesn't turn on thats ur problem. Or if i'm wrong somebody will correct me.
