I bought my 92 RS camaro TBI about 3 months ago when it only had 46k miles on it. It was running fine till about a week ago when it puttered out and died on me after i started it. So i started it again and it ran fine so i didn't think anything of it. But yesterday it died on me again and after repeated times of starting it, it kept puttering out and dieing so i replaced the fuel filter and it worked fine till the next day when it started doing the same thing. I took off my air cleaner and watched the injectors after i strarted the car and they seem to be working fine till the car dies. Is it a fuel problem or an electrical problem? What should I do??

 

check your plugs to see what type of condition they're in

 

make sure your tune up is good, scan for codes, filters good, i'd check FP and volumn too.

 

thanks guys ill look into that as soon as i can. any other ideas? can i pick up a scanner at pep boys or auto zone?

 

dont buy a scanner... you're just throwing away money if you do. do the paper clip trick

I did the paper clip trick and all i got is a code 12, but before i could do that my friend disconnected the battery would that clear the codes? Also do you think it could be my fuel pump?

 

It was my fuel pump. I replaced it and the problem is gone! Thanks guys

 

fuel pump...is bad
