I have a 94 Z28 Convertible, with a built 4l80e trans with mega shift electronic switch and 3rd stage B and M shift kit green racing clutches and 2500 stall,and installed 3.42 gears original were 2.73's, I installed long tube headers and y pipe, so in the process eleminated the EGR system and air pump, Car thru codes for the o2 sensors so I replaced both and got extentions, and some other codes like the CCP code and fan fault. I programmed them out with the cat tuner, now when i was driving around the car shut down and i costed to a stop So i checked the coil and made sure i had spark and checked to see if i had spark to the plugs witch i had there too, then let is sit for like 10 mins, then started it, it ran really rough then shut down. and wont start at all, SES light is not on, before all this happened, I drove 75 miles with no problems gauges read fine. need a lil help

 

check the fuel pressure, sounds like the pump may be failing. with the attention the car has had i assume the fuel filter has been changed.

 

K will check the pressure the filter hasn't been changed since i owned the car so i'll replace that too

 

I hit the gas tank with a rubber malet the fuel pump kicked on and now the car starts rite up

 

It's important to keep some form of mallet in the glove box for roadside reapirs

 

More proof that the mighty hammer can be the end-all, fix-all. Although sometimes it feels better to use it as the break-all.

 

Any respectable half a$% mechanic(shade tree or professional)will have a hammer in the tool box.lol

 

I did the rite thing tho ordered a new fuel pump the hammer is on stand-by for now lol
