Running problems
Most of the time the car won't start. But sometimes it does start and when it does start idle is perfect but when you get in the 3000-5000 RPM range the RPMS jump alot. And it won't run for very long. It just stops. When I put gas into the carb it doesn't start and the TBI is getting fuel. Where should I start?

This is the 1989 Camaro 350 TBI/Standard

Exactly what I was thinking...
Is this the ignition module?
