First, I own a 1991 Chevy Camaro RS 305hp TBI
A few days ago I was driving home from work when my car started choking out, almost as if I had run out of gas. I pulled over and tried to restart the car. It started only for a few seconds then choked out again. It wouldn't start again. Since then, I have tested the battery, altenator, replaced the fuel filter and made sure the fuel pump was operational. I am at my knowledgeable stopping point because I don't know what else to try. My last effort will be the repair shop, but I am hoping to avoid that painful process of being overcharged.
If anyone can provide some suggestions, tips, pointers...or anything at all, please do so. Thanks for any and all help.

Try a fuel pressure test first then you might try a resistance test on the injectors.

Also if it cranks over it is NOT a battery, alternator or starter problem.
It either has a lack of fuel or spark or possibly both. Since it tends to try to restart I would be thinking fuel problems.

Im going with bad plugs or injectors......the fuel pump can still work as well and not pump 'enough' to keep it running....also when did you fill up and what did you use....get a tank of **** gas?
