If you want the "full version" of this help, we'll need the engine size.
To start, check the fuel pressure and check for spark. Also, I've noticed that a lot of GM cars have fuel gauges that aren't that accurate. I've had cars come in to the shop that do that, and a tank of gas fixes it. It's worth a try, anyway, especially the way it quit running on you. I've seen the gauge as far off as reading half way between 1/4 and 1/2 when the tank was bone dry.
