Hello, new to Thirdgen, I have a 85 base Camaro with an 2.8 V6 w/auto. It sat in a garage for eleven years before I obtained it. Got it running and it ran fine for a few months then it quit. It acts like it wants to start for a split second but then just turns over. My suspicions are a clogged fuel filter or bad fuel pump. Or could it be a fuel pump relay ? If it is the fuel pump I have heard it can be difficult to replace. Any help or ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I suggest you use the search function. There are a few long threads on this topic,
and most of the time they involve replacement of the pump, which can be a nightmare if you are doing it for the first time without experienced help. There is a known issue with a short rubber feed line on the pump assy. that simply goes rotten with age, and yours may be due! Find someone who has done this kind of work (successfully!) before.

 

 

Thanks for the info, I will follow up on the advice.

Did you do a complete clean out of the whole fuel system before running it ?
Gas doesn't last for ever and goes " off " causing many problems




Until you determine if you have any fuel available at the engine and at what pressure ;everything else is a random guess at to what your problem " may be "

 

No I just siphoned out what was left. It was clean. Probably not the best thing to do I know. Ran fine for a few months. Will run the pressure test. More than likely its the pump. It doesn't make a noise when I turn the key on as before.
