A friend recently donated a 1992 Camaro RS to be used as a float in a parade. It has over 100,000 miles on it, and it is more than a little beat up. It has a V6 engine and it was fine up till now. As I was modifying the car for the parade, I accidentally cut the three wires on top of the gas tank. I disconnected the battery and spliced them back together with wire nuts. The car ran fine, though I began getting the airbag "IFNL REST" on the dash. I took it for a half hour test drive and put some high octane gas in it. I worked on it some more, then I tried starting it hours later and the starter just turns and the engine won't catch. Sometimes after I release the key it will start but only sputter for a few seconds before stalling. A bunch of kids (and myself) are counting on this vehicle, can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance,

Surely not wire nuts! Those are meant for solid wire in a non-vibration setting like your bedroom wall. Get some buttsplices and redo that first.Originally Posted by dgiomeusoc
... and spliced them back together with wire nuts. BTW what modifications do you need for a parade?
