grr this car is making me mad, i have a 86 camaro 2.8l mpfi (was in good running cond) new alt new plugs/wires new distrib/cap/rotor new belts, ignition mod, ignition coil, filters, basically all tuned up. the other day i parked at a vid store fer like 5 mins just after i had drove the car fer about 30 mins into town, got in my car and started her up, it started but i realised somthin the fuel pump never ran that time so i was like whatever and i was ibout to put it in gear and it started to slowly die i floored it and it just still died i tried a few times every time the fuel pump neverstarted up and the car would start but die shortly after slowly like runing outa gas. i got it towed to a shop and in the morning they started tit up ran tests fer a couple hours drove it and everything and said nothin was wrong. so i went there the next day and took the car, drove home went to town the next day to watch my girl play socer and after 15 mins of that went back to the car and it did the same thing. i left the car for a day and came back the next day and it started fine, so i took it to the shop. the shops gonna look at it again but if its going fine they wont be able to do **** till it goes crasy again will they!? anyone know what might be going on?! sorry for the long msg any help would be apreciated.

 

Damn, buddy, add some punctuation in there. I've tried to read that message 3 times and still can't make out what you're saying.

As far as it running fine after it's been left alone for a while, sounds like an ignition module to me.

 

haha so i got crap marks in english u can tell. jeese, iv had the car for 1 and a half years and if the ign mod is gone now this is the 3rd time! they arnt cheap! i got 1 outa a junk yard though so 1 was free. how could a car go through so many modules?! jeese i hate electrical probs. thnx fer the reply tom.

 

well they found what it was just in case u were wondering at all tom, it was the evm valve, im gonna look that up cause i dont really even know what it is,,,,, but yea thats it, thanks for your help

 

EVM? Haven't heard of it either... when you find out, let us know!! Glad to hear it's not another module!

 

well i guess it was the dumb *** that answered the phone but when i went in and asked the mecanic he said "whats an evm?", i was like i dunno im asking u cause u replaced it. he told me that was a mistake and it was the egr valve(Exhaust Gas Recirculation), it was getting stuck open. dang that evm thing was bugin me till i went in and asked about it, lol. i was all lookin on the internet and in a manual.
