cut out and wont restart?
Hi, new to this forum and also to american cars. I have bought my first yank, a 91 camaro 3.2 V6 RS. I have had it for 4 months with no issues, last week I started her up on the button and then moved the wifes car out of the way. Engine then cut out having been on tickover for about 3-4 minutes (I had not touched the gas pedal). Engine will turn but not fire. I can hear the fuel pump priming the system and all the correct lights come on. Have tried a booster on the battery and still no life. Can anyone point me in the direction of parts to be checking??
Half a tank of fuel so can't see it being that.
It did have a strange missfire a couple of days previous but seemed to clear itself?
Any help would be gratefully received

Haha! Ignition Coil pack. See if it shorted, and check for spark. Fixed a friend's S-10 that had that prob.
Damn coil pack likes to burn out if there is a lot of condensation in the engine. Also, check the distributor cap and button for cracks and wear.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies! Unfortunately since I posted the question I have been ill and so not been able to get out and tinker (until today). Run the diagnostic check shorting out the A & B posts on the underdash connector and it told me nothing
I did suspect the coil pack as this is an identical problem that i had with my mondeo. Where's the best place to obtain parts for this car (I am in Bucks). I don't mind mail order but prefer to deal direct.
I have a mate coming round in the week to help check for spark etc so hopefully will resolve the problem??
