92 Z28 w/ 305 Doesn't want to keep running. - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

My baby is getting on my last nerves.

Around 7:00 I started it up and ran fine. It hasn't ran in about 2-3 weeks however. So around 8:00 I pick up a friend and we got for a quick romp down come back roads and it's hanging in there...

Around 10:15 I try to start it and it is having troubles and keeps shutting off. I tried for 5min until I just put her in Neutral at stop lights and made it home.

I have to give it gas to start it and it's fuel injected. She doesn't stay running until she's real hot 5-10min of city driving.

Oddly enough, steering wheel is hard to move around, I don't see how power steering could lead to it being a pain in my ***.

thanks

I'll filler her up tomorrow with 93, put some octane booster in there and see what happens.

Check the throttle body. Mine was so gunked up it wouldnt get enough air at idle. Seafoam wouldnt hurt either.
