Hey guys i need some quick answers... my gf has a 95 z28 and it was having trouble starting then died.. i sprayed some starting fluid in and it started and kept running but idled rough.. im thinking spark plugs.. any answer??

 

I'm thinking fuel supply problem. Check your pressure at the fuel rail.

 

to hatch or not to hatch

that is going to be the question


but do check the pressure first and also change the fuel filter

Its not the pump i know that i replaced it about 2,000 miles ago so im doing plugs and fuel filter hopefully thats all it is although plugs are a pain on these car... does anyone have any tricks for them

 

check the fuel pressure

trick about plugs........yup, it's called long tube headers

car on ramps

open end wrench, spark plug socket

#6 is the pita

lay perpendicular on top of the engine, place socket onto plug, turn with open end wrench

#8 gets from below using socket and open end wrench

the rest are easy

if you don't have long tube headers but have the restrictive, performance robbing, gawd awful stock manifolds then I suggest........................................... .paying someone

 

Yea i got them done pain in the a$$ i have long tube on my 94 but the gfs car is basically stock although i did plugs and still running rough so fuel filter is next as soon as i get the damn 20mm wrench probably the stupidest size ive heard of

 

If you add fuel it starts why did you go after the spark??... You already had spark

Btw don't count out fuel pump replaced or not.. It happens btdt.

you could run a jumper wire to plug by the computer it won't be igged to anything I it's a red/green striped wire add power fuel pump will come on and stay on.

 

do a fuel pressure test on her. number 33 on the list here 4th Gen LT1 F-Body Tech Aids
scann for trouble codes or have it scanned. if you can find a obd1 scanner to use try looking at number 24 on the same list at shbox.

 

im going to try the fuel pressure test, im guessing that its going to be that because the car isnt shooting any codes
