HELP IS NEEDED!
Hey guys.. dont really no where to start but here goes.... i baught my car bout 4 months ago right before winter, it did not run but the place gaurenteed me the car runs good just been sitting since 01 so i take her home and put in the garage, later i changed the plugs fluid random **** and tried to start it, it would turn over and over but not fire up, then as i cranked on it more and more its started to run for like a second then would die...
also was shooting flames out the intake, we used a little gas to try to help her start, but a freind of mine said he thinks its the timming chain, and that would make a little sense until the kicker...
when the garage i baught the car from got it.. the water pump had been laying in the back seat and everything in that area is loose, so i am thinking one of the mechanic's maybe just slapped it all back together and forgot to set the optispark at top dead center...
guys... this is my first camaro and i havent heard her run yet.. PLZ help me out lol
i will post up a vid of the attempted start

RE: HELP IS NEEDED!
Could be the opti. Is the gas also the same gas that has been in the tank since 01? I would change out ALL the fuel, maybe even get a new filter. Give it a good once over (all filters, fluids, plugs - like you mentioned before) then see how it runs. The flame out of theintake is indicitive of a timming issue, get all the other things on line first then it will be easier to diagnose the true problem.
