Hi All,
I am new to this forum, but I have a 88 camaro that has 22,000 miles on it. We have not driven since 1998 but a few times in the summer every year except for last year where it just sat in the garage. Threw a new battery in it and ran it for awhile and all was good. It sat for 2 days outside and when we started it i did not idle very well, no power, alot of smoke. Now it will not start at all. The last two days. I checked the codes, there were none but the normal 12. Pulled the distributor cap and replaced it and the rotor due to seeing some moisture. Had the ignition module tested, it was OK. Checked the Pickup coil and normal coil. Reassembled all and I have spark at all cylinders. Pulled all spark plugs and cleaned them. I syphoned all of the gas from the tank, filled with 5 gals of fresh gas with sea foam Cleaner in it. Changed the inline fuel filter. The car will still not start. Checked the battery voltage and it is at 12.6, does drop below 12 when I crank so replaced from my daily driver ruling out any possible voltage issues. Still will not start. Just cranks and will occasionaly sputter once every 5 or 6 attempts. Pulled the upper plenum and bleed off the fuel injector rail, while holding down bleed had some one turn key on, I have fuel shooting out. Pulled the fuel rain and removed all of the injectors. Cleaned as best I could with spary cleaner. Removed the cold start injector cleaned it the same way. Actuated it with using batery voltage and it sprayed on my hand. Checked votage at the Fuel injectors with Key on had 12 volts. Reasembled every thing and there is still no change. Also the fuel pump does its normal on off cycle when turing the key on and off.

I need some ideas, the gas that i pulled out of the tank was definetly varnishy looking.

Thanks

 

Welcome Aboard!

Instead of a flow test, an actual standing fuel pressure test would be a good idea.

Since it evidently has ignition, have you tried to manually administer some fuel to see if it will fire? Starting fluid would work, but use it very sparingly. It evaporates quickly in warmer weather and can create some serious detonation. Plain gasoline would be safer.
