I have a 1987 Camaro 2.8 v-6. The engine has been completely rebuilt 6000 miles ago. It's actually almost all new. Only the block and heads remain and they were remachined. It was running fine until I parked it one day and then it won't start. It cranks fine and is getting fuel. You can hear the pump and smell the fuel. I have replaced the computer, starter, battery, plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, ignition module, pick-up coil, ignition switch, and the ignition coil. It still just cranks and won't fire. Any ideas? I'm am about to push it off a cliff if my wife doesn't blow it up first.

 

Are your injectors clogged?

 

is your timing off maybe

 

will it start with carb cleaner?

 

I don't think it's the injectors because it was running fine, I shut it off, and 2 hours later it wouldn't start. I suppose it could have jumped time but it had a new timing belt only 6000 miles ago. I have a timing light, i'll try to figure out how to use it. I'll get back in a few days. I'm kind of busy this week because my son is leaving for Navy boot camp Tues. Any other suggestions in the meantime are very welcome! Thanks!

 

have u checked for spark at the plug?

 

sounds like a spark problem! if you have spark check to see if your cats clogged if not that... If you end up with no spark check the wires running to distr. and conectors for corrosion. if not that it might be your distributer test turn over volts. make sure your readers on the right setting, should run about 4500v or high i do believe, its been awill. if any of my sugestions dont work remember the the four cycles....suck(intake/fuel) squeeze(compression) bang(ignition) Blow(exaughst)...simple easy to remember!

 

i used to have a problem like that i was replacing parts but i came to find out one of the sparks plugs was not firing when it was told to which was due to a faulty wire nd a cracked Dist. cap. and also if your wires do not match the cap you could have problems just recheck the wires make sure the cap is on tight or as one of the others said it could be your carb is plugged i wouyld recomend taking it apart and putting it back together(plugs wires dist cap etc.) just to make sure they are all the way in place and working correctly.
i had put a plug into my camaro and a week later the plug was burnt out and it was a performance plug. it randomly happens.
