It happened again today. Pulled all relays, will not solve the problem. Something is not stable, that's all I can say. But I don't know what is it.

Let's see, the whole thing is getting wireder and wireder. As the Z is doing what it's doing-will not start periodically and I am not the first owner of the car, so I kind of think there might be something going on with the ECM. I took it out and opened it, and not surprised to find a Jet Performance Stage 2 chip on the stock GM chip. I hate chips! For all the cars I own, they always create problems. I unpluged the chip, put the ECM back into the car, it starts right up. However, it feels like harder to start and sometimes I gonna have to pump the fuel a couple of times to start.

I was thinking since without the performance chip the engine does not need that much fuel for peak power, maybe I give it some time for the ECM to re-learn everything.

Within 24 hours, car became really hard to start. My original problem is no spark out of coil, now I've spark, NO FUEL. When I turn the key on, the pump will come on. But when I crank the engine, the pump will not stay on. I bypassed the ignition and keep the pump stay on, still no start. I noticed there's no fuel out of injector. Btw, the engine will start on ether.

Frustrated.

test the tps and map. check the fuses for the injectors. have you put a noid light on the injector plug to see if they are being told to fire by the ecu.
