Question 1989 Camaro Problem

wasnt sure where i should post for a 89? but anyway i was thinking about buying this pretty clean 89 t tops 5 speed the only problem is that the guy says sometimes it wont start for like 5 min then it will out of the blue and it has to do with some type of sensor or something?

i remember my 94 z28 6 speed did that like twice in the 2 years of me having it but never really worried about it does anyone know what problem this is?

Sounds like the fuel pump is taking a crap. Get it and do this:



Fixes many issues, even get a 6 speed, doesnt take much.
