My 1997 Camaro 3.8 lt... will not start without starting fluid... withouht starting fluid it will crank and crank.... with starting fluid it will sputter and bog down and i have to pump the throttle a whole lot to keep it running.. then it will be fine once the voltmeter goes up past the red... i dont understadn... put some fuel injector cleaner in it... new MAF... new TPS... idk what else.... the cat. is out so no o2 sensor there.. but i took that out like 4 months ago.... new fuel filter and fuel pump..... just starting having this problem after i replaced the fuel pump...idk what it is... alternator is good.. battery is fine.... help me please... if it is a short or something how can i find it...need all the help i can get... oh and i took it to autozone so they can scan the check engine light.. it said low volt to MAF and PPS.. pedal position sensor.. which i assumes was teh TPS..... idk it didnt help at all.

so the low voltage started after u changed the fuel pump. so better check the connections and wires in the fuel tank area. only other thing i can think of is the starter. if its going and drawing to much amps to turn the motor over that it doesnt leave any for the ignition system. is the fuel pump cycling up to the right pressure?

what should the fuelpressure be at?... yes the low voltage started after teh fuel pump... but i think it was a flood car ... my guess is that there is a loose ground or somethign...ill check the starter.. it could be tired i guess
