  • my camaro is having difficulty starting. help me!

    i have been having a lot of trouble starting up my LT-1 when its "cold" outside (30-55 degrees). it sometimes takes 10 minutes to get it to turn over. it will crank and crank, but it just doesn't seem to want to start. even when i pump the gas, it often does little to help.

    however, whenever its been running for a while and whenever its warm outside, it starts right up.

    does anyone have any idea of what might be wrong and also, does anyone know of any techniques for getting it to start?

    Injectors? Maybe someone else will chime in. Maybe an opti on the way out. Once it starts running, does it run ok? Eric L

      yeah, i just had the ignition wires replaced and the spark plugs are in good shape. it idles relatively smooth. i thought that it may be the injectors too, but it could also be due to the fact that im running premium fuel. idk.

        your suppose to run premium fuel in our cars. But, it could be water in the gas, try some dry gas in the tank. Eric L

                  is the ECT the same sensor that reads the engine temperature? if so, i just had that replaced.
