2000 Camaro Z28 DYING!! HELP please with driveability issue!!! I bought a 2000 Z28 with 59k org miles on it in October of 2008. The car was in absolute perfect condition. After driving my car from Arkansas to Las Vegas and back,... as soon as I got home I had a sudden major issue!!
The car started dying randomly. I noticed that it seemed when i slowed down that it would die, or if i came to a complete stop it would die. I changed the fuel filter, and it didnt help. I changed the crank sensor, still no luck.
I broke down and took it to Chevy, but my car's check engine light reset because my battery died, so they couldn't find any codes. They said my injectors were filthy and cleaned them. The car ran GREAT for 3 DAYS... then BAM! Same thing happened, now we cant get it 3 blocks down the road without it dying. Chevy can't figure out what's wrong until the check engine light comes back on and gives a code, but I have been unable to get it to come back on despite how much I let it run in my driveway and let it die on its own. It was idling around 400 rpm before i had the injectors cleaned, then I got it back and was idling between 800-900 rpm, now its jumping up and down. All of the gauges, the RPM will drop down til it almost dies and pick itself back up when its idling, but when you try to drive the thing it DIES everytime!!! WHY ???? PLEASE, someone, anyone, give me a clue as to what is going on. The car is not making any unusual sounds at all, and I havent been able to drive it for ALMOST 6 MONTHS!!! PLEASE HELP
ME!!
---- THIS CAR IS STOCK TO MY KNOWLEDGE, EXCEPT A DIFFERENT SOUND SYSTEM , HEAD UNIT, SUB, AND AMP

I don't see how a stereo system with an amp can cause any of this. But anythings possible I guess. I guess it could drain a battery. Why don't you completely disconnect the amp from your battery and see if it changes anything. I doubt it will.
When you do a cold start is the battery perfectly strong, or does it struggle?
