Default no idea whats wrong with my car

So i'm having problems figuring out what excatly is wrong with my car at the moment. It all started when I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the car had changed it's tone, the car had taken a deeper tone (and supposedly as far as the passengar said, the engine light had come on). So i pulled into a parking lot (because recently that day i had gotten my exhaust modified) to check if anything was visually different, and nothing had changed. I then started down a back road and all of a sudden the car seems to act like it was out of fuel. Eventually the car shut off. The car seems to have a rough idle now, and then after it warms up (after ~3-4 min) it will just shut off, it starts but will shut of after a few minutes of idle or enough fuel is added the only code that came up is a code 33, can anyone help me with this problem.

the fuel pressure is 40 while running, and sometimes up to 50 when it shuts off.

i personally drive a 1990 v6 3.1l firebird, i know its not a camaro, but i was wondering if there was a similar problem with the camaros as there are the firebirds.

So what car are you talking about, since we know it's not the fire chicken.

In the past I have heard the catalytic converter can cause performance troubles. don't know if the newer converters are susceptible to backing up or not.
