Please HELP! My 94 z28 quit on me. I dont know what is wrong but I have plenty of gas and enough battery to be able to start the car. Yesterday, I started it and had felt it idling just a LITTLE bit of a miss. So yesterday, its sitting in my driveway running in park and it dies. No sputtering or chugging to death...just stops running. So i tried to crank it up and it wont. I pressed the gas all the way down and it turned over.
It ran fine after that but still with a little miss, barely noticeable. Today, I get in it and drive just less than a mile and im driving when it dies. Again, no sputtering, just dies. It desperatly tries to turn over and at times you can tell it ignites in a cylinder or two but wont stay cranked. I pull to the side of the road. Wait 15 mins and still wont crank. So I called AAA and the guy came about an hour later. He couldnt get it to start. So we towed it about 2 miles, let it off the truck. And it cranked. I didnt drive it away fearing that this would happen again.
Could it be fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plug wires, distributor?
Should I first check fuel pressure?
