Re: 91 camaro rs keeps shutting down

What kind of engine is it? What kind of fuel pump are you running now?

Re: 91 camaro rs keeps shutting down

Are you saying that you have an intank electric fuel pump with a carburetor? Hopefully you have a fuel pressure regulator on that system, set to no more than 8-9psi. If you don't have a pressure regulator, well, thats your problem.

You're going to have to provide a lot more information than what you're giving us.

Unhappy Re: 91 camaro rs keeps shutting down

sorry about taking long to answer but this the thing I put a new fuel pump the stock that is 12 to 17 psi they guy I got it had it with a kill switch and a fuel pressure regulator set at 5 psi but the car kept choking when I turn it on like if the regulator wasnt doing it's job and letting all the fuel go to the carb...just put a lower psi pump and now the caf drives but when I'm at a light on idle it turns off lights are on so no electrical problem...
