So recently I’ve begun trying to get this 1994 Camaro Z28 up and running but have been having trouble with get it to turn over and start. I’ve replaced the distributor and water pump, and with the fuel pump and fuel filter. I’ve also soldered any wires that were chewed through or broken, and replaced all the fuses in both the fuse box under the hood and inside the dash. After replacing the fuel pump and emptying all gas out of the car, I put 10 gallons of premium in it along with a can of seafoam, and I looked at the oil and it is basically brand new, no water or metal shavings in it at all. I’ve also checked and replaced all the spark plugs, and made sure they are in the right firing order when plugged into the distributor. I’m about to lose my mind at this point, as all possibilities to keep this car from starting have been checked, but I’m still sitting with it almost turning over then going back to a slow chug like it isn’t picking up fast enough to start the engine. Are there any sensors I should check, along with maybe there being an issue with the fuel injectors? Any help would be appreciated.

 

You already started a thread on this topic two weeks ago. I responded within 2-1/2 hours, trying to help you.

Is there any particular reason you chose to ignore my input, and start over?

Sorry I never saw the reply and eventually I just chose to replace to replace the distributor because both it and the water pump were completely covered in grime and dirt from sitting there so no reason not to replace it. Also chose to replace the fuel pump as it wouldn’t prime when cranking so I wasn’t getting neither spark or fuel to the engine. I’m getting both now but still no start. Haven't done the codes yet as I’m waiting on a obd1 scanner to come in but I’ve replaced everything else like in the post above. I went ahead and made another post as I wanted to start a new one with new information.

 

Makes no sense at all…. it's better for the people trying to help you know the whole story. And to at least acknowledge that you read the help someone offered.

Good luck.

 

Idk how why your feelings got hurt but if you weren’t going to help why reply to this thread at all then? Just tryna get my car running and want other peoples input nothing is ever that serious lol.

 

Because I didn’t want others to waste their time, like I did. You really ought to show more respect for the people who take the time to help you. I've been on this site helping LT1 owners for 24 years, and it’s crap like this that makes wonder why I stay. There's only a few active/knowledgeable members left here.
