Exclamation Having a hard time with start up.
When I first bought the car I could get in it turn the key and it would start with in a secound or two. Now as of lately it takes two or three attemps of turning the key to get it to start. Anybody have an idea?

Could be a bad or dying fuel pump. I'd suggest checking your fuel pressure with a gauge. It's the easiest thing to do first.

I will give that a shot. If that is the problem does the 94 camaro have a access panel for it?

There is a Schrader valve on the back of the fuel rail for you to attach the gauge.

No, you'll either need to cut one or drop the tank.

Like already stated. It does sound like what was going on with my car before the fuel pump went out about 3 months ago.
