my 91 Z28 does this occasionally, not too much where it is a problem at the moment (cept when I took my girl out in it the first time, she now hates it) but anyone have any ideas?

Re: i need help

it might be similar to my problem.

it could be the starter.

it could be the distributor. my car died one time, then after that it would rung fine for 15 mins or so, then when it got hot it'd die again.

or it could be a problem that i might have as well.
a wire touching somewhere or a bad wire possibly making a circuit or draining the battery. i went to start my car this morning and it was dead. i jumped it and it ran fine today and started up everytime after

Re: i need help

Well mine doesnt die, nor has the battery gone dead....Itll run fine then I turn it off, when I go to turn it on, it will click once....after 2 or 3 times of trying to start it, it will fire right up no problem and run great again. My current guess due to I havent had time to trouble shoot, is a dead cell in the battery or Starter.
