Help! LS2 in 1969 Camaro won't start
Hi Guys,
I am at my wits end and can't figure out what's going on.
I have an LS2 in my 1969 camaro and I can't get it to start. I haven't driven it in about 10 months and it was running before we moved into our new house. We are finally getting settled in with our 2 and 4 year old's so I thought that I would get my car up and running.
I have tried everything... here are my symptoms:
Fuel injectors just got cleaned and flow tested - flow 33.8 pounds
new spark plugs
I have spart (shocked the $hit out of myself testing)
it turns over and i get a little bounce in my speedometer
cam sensor is new
Battery seems to have enough juice to turn it over
when i pull plugs they are wet so I am getting fuel
The car will crank, I seem to get it to almost fire (if i try for 2-3 minutes the header warm up a bit)
Seems like the car is starting, catching a bit of combustion and then dying.
There are only a couple things that I can think of that are left -
Bad gas? I drained my tank and put in about 5 gallons - should I drain and put in 5 fresh gallons again?
Bad fuel pump? pump makes noise (its a walboro 255) when I turn the key on. When I crank I can hear it in the back ground whirring a bit.
Low fuel pressure? I plan to order a pressure gauge to test pressure in case that is the issue.
anyone have any other ideas?
Any help would greatly appreciated! I just want to get out and drive this car!
Chris
