1986 Camaro v8 305 engine gone?
Was driving home and decided to give it more gas and bam, engine light comes on and it loses power...unfortunately I was 15 mins from home at 2am in the morning so yea...Anyway I needed gas so I pulled in got some and it took forever for it to start again but thats a whole other issue, thats been happening quite abit, so I finally get it to start and its running real rough and its like 10x louder, unless I have some gas on it, it feels like it will die.....And the oil pressure is down and tends to move up and down at will, =[

This sucks

Check for stored SES codes. Could just be a sensor. As far as hard starting, check your fuel pump relay.

Re: 1986 Camaro v8 305 engine gone?
I agree with nova, see what code you are getting and that should help you narrow it down a lot better. If you dont know what they mean just say what the blink pattern was and someone can tell you.
