need help/ideas...
my 89 formula350 sits in a barn for long periods of time. now when i started useing it more she starts no problem, wait for idle kick down, drive away. but now she won't restart, like thers no fuel, but i hear the fuel pump primeing. today i started it, let it run till operating temp, shut down, let sit for 15/20 minutes, will not restart. any ideas? car has 23,000 orig mi. totally still stock,except for K&N air filter.

 

emptying gas tank. Going to try new fuel filter. fresh gas. I've had "hot start" issues before, this isn't it. this problem acts like no fuel.

 

Next time it won't start check for fuel pressure and spark, that will narrow it down...

 

I got lazy. drove to dealer, left it running, idle not steady, bouncing between 500/800.
drove it into work bay, mechanic turned car off, and ... won't restart. checked fuel injector wiring, then starter quit. Bad ECM? they gave me ride home. Dealer, first mistake. expensive, but hopeful...

 

I had this problem one time and it ended up being VATS, as bad as I hate to open that can of worms. On other vehicles that I've had though, similar but not exact problem, it turned out being the alternator going out.

 

check for spark when it won't start. Could be ignition module or pickup coil

 

Thanks, I just called dealer. had service manager tell mechanic, make sure i have spark, and pressure before ECM is bought. so now I wait...

 

Tonight after driving my 88 camaro v6. It decided not to start. It has gas. But it sounds like its not getting it now. This its th he first time this has happened. Any suggestions what out could be?

 

Hurray! Just got my baby back from the dealer. Expensive, but runs like it did. New Ecm, new fuel injectors, new starter. 1600.00$, ouch. But still smiling. Thanks for all your help...
