1987 2.8 Won't Start
I have a 1987 camaro 2.8 turns over, starts and runs about 10-20 seconds and then dies, (like the old mopars with a bad ballast resistor) it has a new cap-rotor-plugs-coolant sensor and a new distributor, it has 40 + psi fuel pressure. Any idea's. Also no codes
Thanks for any help

Well, it seem to have been out of gas or very low! (gauge reads full) Put 5 gal of gas in the tank and replace the gas filter (filter was dirty) The car runs but act like it is starving for gas, got a code of 44, car seem to start better once the engine is warn. You can slowly give gas, very light pedal. Any idea's
Thanks

We got it running, I made a home made injector tester and 3 of them were leaking badly! The TPS was reading 4.08oms when it should be 1 to 2 oms. Replace all of the injectors and TPS and it runs great.
