88 Irocz

There is a 1988 Irocz that has a fuel issue, It will fire for a sec on starting fluid it has a new fuel pump but still wont start.
Maybe the injectors will need replaced or a fuel pressure regulator replaced any ideas?

If fuel pressure is good at the rail, injector pulse verification with a noid light. Contact @southbay08

Not sure if the fuel pressure is good with out testing it. I have seen this Camaro listed for sale and i was asking about the car, and the guy told me he just put a fuel pump in it. I am thinking it needs new fuel injectors.

Re: 88 Irocz

Either way you should replace the injectors. The car has been sitting for a long time...in addition the stock injectors are junk anyway. If you need a set we'll be more than happy to help you. We are actually having a memorial day sale. We are offering 15% off until may 31st.
Just use promo code

Or you can call us at the shop 516-442-4707
