Question

1988 camaro starts but will not run


Sent to Car Experts March 19, 2006 11:45 a.m.
I have a 1988 Camaro Iroc 305. I picked it up in Arizona and drove it back to Chicago with no problems. I drove it for two weeks and then, all of a sudden, it will not stay runing. It starts right up and chugs a little bt if I attempt to give it any gas it dies immediately. Sometimes it will run in a pulsing fashion but always dies as soon as I attmept to give it any gas. I have changed the fuel filter but it did not help. Any suggestions?

sometimes, but not always. Also, the engine light is not on while the car is trying to run but does come on after it dies. Thanks

Try unplugging the Mas air flow sensor see if the condition changes any . This sensor does not always set the light when it screws up.

Post back with results.
