Camaro WONT START AGAIN!!!!!!!!
YO GUYS,
Im a little angry this morning because I tried to start my car for school and it wouldn't fire....again. I had this problem about 3 weeks ago, it caused me to replace the ICM, which made it start again. A couple of days last week it would not fire because it was cold out, then I would try to start it again after it would not fire and it would start right up. The engine rotates, but I have a really REALLY crappy ignition system, its really angering me right now. This car is 10 years old, and has less than 70k on it. I understand that the previous owner did not know that much about cars, and the sparkplugs are probably 5 years old. Its going in for inspection next month and I will drop a G into this badboy just to get it running again.

I don't understand why you'd "drop a G" ( which I assume to mean you'll spend $1000 ) to get it running? WTF?
Why not just spend the $40 or so to give it a GOOD tune up. It only takes basic hand tools, and won't take long at all.
With that out of the way, if it still has trouble starting, take the time to find out what's wrong and fix it yourself.
AT MOST... starter $30-60

Sorry about my excessive slang in the previous post, I was very mad given the situation, but the car does have bad brakes, coolant system leak, lacks power, and that is why I am going to "drop a g" into it if i have to. the spark plugs are probably 5 years old give or take, i've had it for two, and nothing has changed besides coolant and oil in the engine. The starter rotates but the engine does not fire. The ignition system is beginning to fall apart, or there is some type of surge going through my ICM that is killing it. It is the second one in a matter of weeks. I have heard of this before, but what is the solution?

dude... put the G in to fix the ignition system and what it needs to start... then worr about the rest. as for starting, alot of older cars (my dads 72 triumph Spitfire for example) run better in the cold. id say your car is the opposite, so just baby it since the previous owner obviously didnt... camaros are special
