Hello All,
well i have a '87 camro coupe, 305 Carb
it ran fine for awhile untill last weekend, it turns over and you have to floor it to get it started and once it does start it just dies again
my thoughts are a stuck choke, or leak?
any ideas??
do you have any more info on your set up? sounds like a carb or fuel pressure problem. just prop your choke open to rule out the choke.
not really sorry the car is in AZ right now and im in CO, im flying down to fix it and bring it back in a few weeks, i was just trying to get som ideas b4 i went down there.
my understanding is if its only a choke problem that if i can feather the throttle and keep it going untill it warms up it should be fine. i hope it is just that though
oh i just remebered they said the choke light was coming on dont know if that helps
then the choke is definitely the place to start, I dont know about your exact setup but you should be able to replace it, or bypass it, or rebuild it, it might be that its just stuck on
