Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
if its the relay it would do nothing so it could be going bad but at the same time my friends 4th gen camaro will crank and crank for like 30 seconds then start and his pump is going out so if i were to guess i bet its the pump but i would test the relay to be safe
I believe the relay is in the kick panel on the 4th gen. Not sure though. Check the wire diagram I believe the VATS picks the relay. So the problem could be associated to the ignition switch also. Easier to check all this 1st, than just replace fuel pump.

Hey all, I have to prime my car twice for it to start right up.. I changed the fuel filter and checked the pressue.
On the first key on 0 PSI on the second 40 or so I cant remember exact.
Whats going on here lol fuel pump or what? I heard of this before too anyone experience this?
Are you saying that your fuel pressure was 40?
I think the highest fuel pump ratings I've seen were 14...most are in the 7ish range...

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
nono - 4th gen fbody fuel pressure is 40 at the rails, upwards of 50 at cruise.
Ah, gotcha...I was thinking pump pressure...

Have you noticed any problems while the car has been running?
Your pump should hold a steady pressure and shouldn't fall off.

since you say it run fine, i don't see it being vats, should prevent you from even starting the car
if you are gonna stick with the lt1, hopefully its a 94/95 pcm which is obdi and then you can get tunercats and a cable for 150 bucks. well worth it...its not vin or pcm locked. i still have the program, but no cable
