Hard Starting
Hard Starting
I'm posting this again, I'm trying to find someone that might know why this car will not start? When the Ign. key is truned on the volt gauge goes up and the check engine light comes on.
I have a 1988 Camaro with a 5.0L TBI engine and a 5-speed transmission. When I try to start the car it will take 4 to 5 times cranking it before it will start. When I first turn the key on I can not hear the fuel pump running and also the ignition key is very loose in the steering column. I checked the voltage at the fuel pump relay with just the key on and there is no voltage, you can watch the meter and on the 4th to 5th time trying to crank the engine you will see the meter go to 12 volts and the car will start. What is controlling the voltage to the fuel pump relay? The key switch? The Computer? Both, I’m lost at this point what could be wrong? Thanks
