Camaro won’t start

Asked by Sergio Nov 23, 2017 at 04:13 AM about the 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recently I did a fuel pump swap on my car, it ran
and I noticed a difference but it was still some what
sluggish, so I decided to replace the fuel injectors
and so after replacing the injectors which took my
two days due to time limitations I tried to start her
back up and it wouldn’t go I figured it was the
battery and replaced it and even still it won’t go, I’ve
noticed it doesn’t have anywhere near enough fuel
pressure in the rail so I’m wondering what could
have gone wrong since I’ve noticed the pump starts
up and I don’t smell any gas, what could have gone
wrong? Also I changed the fuel filter too

Did you consider that the the new fuel pump you bought maybe defective. . This may not help but I suggest that after checking filter fuel lines and running a few bottles of a quality injectors cleaner through it go to aamco and get it Diagnosed. Wish I were there to do it myself. I'm hoping you checked filter and lines when you dropped the gas tank to get to the fuel pump. I owned a 95 trans am. I took a touch and cut a10x10 hole over the pump using the cutout to make a hinged door. I do the same with heater cores access through glove boxes. Good luck . I'll be watching.

I think I would reinstall the original injectors to see if it will run.

I been racking my last brain cell thinking about your camaro's power issues. When all else fails go back to the basics. A engine needs 3 things to run. Air, fuel, &.spark. Interruption of any oneee hey this might sound to easy but have checked your air filter or your converter or muffler) any air flow issues will result in the symptoms you described. Just saying!
