Default 93 Camaro Engine Shut down need help

Hi,

My brother have a 1993 camaro 5.7 with a 6 speed transmission. We experienced a problem. When we cruise, the engine shut down. We have power everything...but the car crank....and wont start. Car sit down at his house, and after 2-3 days, when we crank the engine with the starter, engine fire-it up.

sometime he wont used the car for 3-4 days...triend to take the car, and wont start.......sometime, he run on the highway and engine shut down and wont start..we need to call a wrecker.

Do you have any idea ?

We change last time, we change the iginition module (the one is with the coil on driver side)

Really need help...we dont know what to do with this !

Stephan

Figure out if fuel or spark issue next time it happens.
Does it crank at all and just no start?
Do you happen to have a spare key? Could it be the vats?

This same thing was happening to me in my truck a few years ago and it was the fuel pump. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. It was weird...

You need to put a fuel pressure gauge on it when you crank it to see if your getting fuel pressure. That would tell you if your fuel pump is bad.
