Have a 94 firebird acted the same way, checked the fuel pressure and it was ok, found that the ethanol put in the gas corroded the strainer for the fuel pump, would start all right but once moving the junk floating around in the gas tank would clog the filter making it seem like it was out of fuel

Also if the fuel filter has not been changed in some time would check that too.
