Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Read Reapers post on 12/27/ 08, (i think) , when an injector goes bad the computer tries to compensate by telling the other injectors to supply more fuel. You end up with fouled plugs. You can keep...

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Don't bother buying new ones, go online and buy six reconditioned injectors, there are several different sites that sell them for a quarter to third of the price of new ones.

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

You could, but all that tells you is that you have an active circuit but won't tell you if the damn injector is frozen. Simply put, an injector is nothing more than a small magnetic solenoid that...

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Reaper is right, just disconnect the battery for 3 or more minutes and then reconnect. It goes into default mode and has to relearn the operating parameters. You'll have to drive around for a few...

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Then you must have the wrong timing chain. Check the size, there is a reason why you can't get it on and I'm willing to bet that it is either the wrong chain or you are not installing it right. Get...

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Okay, so you think you messed up with the timing chain. Go back to it. Check that your timing marks align, you'll see a mark on the crank gear and on the gear that attaches to your cam. Now if you...

Re: 91 Camaro RS 3.1 Stalling

Check for any codes that might be displayed. If you don't know how, get a manual from just about any auto store and read. You'll learn alot.

Re: Starting Problems

Have you checked for any codes. If no codes. time for a little process of elimination. If you have fuel pressure, try replacing the fuel pressure regulator.
