I have a 1985 2.8 V-6 Camaro. Not sure exactly what its suppose to be(Berlinetta, iroc, z/28, etc...). butbut i had taken the starter off and made sure all the battery connections and grounds were good. I got it started and it idled high, even if the choke was on it seemed too high. but after a few minutes the rpms went down and it wanted to cut out, and i had to have my foot steady on the gass around half way down. now today, i cant even get it started, but it turns over really strong. starting it a seond time had to keep tapping the gas and it wouldn't rev up til a few seconds after i had tapped the gas. any ideas? have new wires, cap, and rotor.

 

I had a 2.8 FI with sorta the same problem. It ended up being the fuel pump.

 

oh boy, my 87 was the same.. the fuel pump is in the tank...if thats the case..its perdy expensive

 

haha yea it was, i just did it myself. Have done 3 of them now and can do it like clock work now.

 

Thanks for the help. This Camaro has been puzzling me for the last seven years. I had another little problem that doesn't bother me as much as that. When I got it started the first time, after it shut off, I had oil leaking from both sides, draining off the driver side of the transmission, and dripping onto the exhaust pipe of the passenger side. I started it when i had to keep tapping the gas and there was no oil leaking.
