Narrative:
Just leveled at FL360 when Number1 low fuel pressure light illuminated. Before locating and performing the checklist items; number 1 fadec fault light illuminated. Shortly after; number 1 engine compressor stalled and reduced power. Declared an emergency and requested heading to nearest suitable airport with decent weather and lower [altitude]. After completing the check list and descending some the engine returned to normal. We removed our emergency status with ATC. Even though we were over max landing weight; we were aware of the fact that the a/C is designed to land at max takeoff weight as long as the touchdown was less than 360 FPM. We landed much less than that; therefore no inspection was required. We chose to be conservative and the passengers were nervous about continuing after experiencing the compressor stalls.
