Default The car hesitates and bogs. Fuel problem?

Okay it seems liek I am hitting the fuel cutoff early in my car. I will try to explain it as good as I can.

I start driving my car. It runs fine, then all of a sudden I get a fuel smell, and the car wont respond to the gas at all. It just bogs.. I dont know what could be causing the hessiation/gas problem. I have replaced the fuel filter, and plug wires. Whatever the problem is, has to be causing a leak somewhere. So maybe around the injector orings or fuel rail, or something like that maybe? I dont know. Its hot outside so I am gonna go out in a few but for now I am trying to gather ideas.

What rpm is it stopping at? Could your exaust system be restricted?

Its different each time. Some times it does it at 2500, sometimes it does it at 5000, sometimes at idle.. Also if I turn the car off and back on it runs fine... Till it happens again.

I had a similar problem, which ended up being the fuel strainer in the tank. Its somewhat common on these cars. It basically disintegrates and wont allow your fuel pump to draw fuel from the bottom of the tank.
My issue was basically after hard acceleration, braking, or turning the fuel will slosh away from the fuel pump and it will feel like fuel cut.
It was around half a tank it started to have problems, so until I had time to fix the issue i kept my tank topped up for a few weeks.

Not extremely likely but this is my experience.

How full is your tank? Which sock/strainer did you use when you changed your fuel pump? Most aftermarket pumps come with a smaller sock that sits vertical. These can cause the pump to begin drawing air in below about a half tank. I recommend going back to the OEM fuel filter sock.

Did you change your fuel filter? If not, it may be time.

Lastly, the fuel injectors have small strainer baskets at the top where they connect to the fuel rail. If you are not running a fuel filter or trash gets in the fuel between the filter and injector, these can become clogged and cause the issue you're having. You can pull them out and clean them with brake parts cleaner, then reinstall.

Any check engine lights?
