Engine shuts down after long drive! ?? myZ28 07-22-2005, 12:32 AM
:screwy: I took the car out for a run. In an instant, the car died,like lost spark and fuel pressure. Then after about 20 minutes, it starts and runs and does not happen for a while. I have a 91 z28 with a 350( Modified! ) It seems like it could be the EST overheating but it was changed out. Distibutor is kind of old but I don't know if it's that. I can't trace this problem. Could someone offer any suggestions? :disappoin wrightz28 07-22-2005, 10:15 AM Probably the fabled ignition control module in the dizzy cap. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $ and get a Delco replacement. Knockoffs will get you on the road again, but not for long. 92zcamaroperson 07-22-2005, 10:27 AM dont these cars have problems witht the fuel pump relays sometimes? 89IROC&RS 07-22-2005, 10:48 AM weird, have you flashed the error codes??? SpikeD 07-22-2005, 12:00 PM iv got shurelock homes on the phone, he said hed be right over! (im sorry i have nothing to help you with on this one) :( SpikeD 07-22-2005, 12:03 PM Wait! when you say moddified what exactly do you mean? whats been modded so far CamarosRsweet94 07-22-2005, 02:14 PM I would guess that something dealing with your ignition system is heating up and failing to deliver spark... SpikeD 07-22-2005, 04:49 PM i would say that your cigerate lighter has turned to the darkside and is trying to corrupt your engine computer, throw it away an buy a cellphone charger, youll thank me later :smokin: Rally Sport 07-22-2005, 04:52 PM Or do what I did, put a neon light in your car that is just hooked up to the cigerate lighter. It makes people want to race you more, so no downside and it keeps you awake or atleast me. SpikeD 07-22-2005, 05:23 PM mmmmm much fear i sense in you, your vision is clouded by the darkside my pawdawan learner, meditate on this i will! (neon sounds like fun) wrightz28 07-22-2005, 05:27 PM WTF? Did I miss something or are you two passing around the virtual bong here?

Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $ and get a Delco replacement. Knockoffs will get you on the road again, but not for long. I think that's what it is too. So I will try it. myZ28 07-24-2005, 04:09 PM http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/501/263023camaro-med.jpg Thanks to all for your help and comments. I will change a few things and let you all know. :smokin: Rally Sport 07-24-2005, 04:28 PM Very cool looking. 89IROC&RS 07-24-2005, 04:45 PM the firebird mesh rims look great on that car. wrightz28 07-25-2005, 11:22 AM the firebird mesh rims look great on that car. Yes they do, they even look just as good on a black Z. Which makes me ask, why the heck can I "not" post images? Link85x 07-25-2005, 02:24 PM Hey wrightz28, got any idea where i can get those rims? They look really good on MYZ28's car and would look badass and my black iroc. Don't know why i never noticed them before. wrightz28 07-25-2005, 02:29 PM i posted a linkup for Hawk's F-body parts before when someone was asking they're opinion of wheels. They're GTA wheels from around 89-92. So there's a 3rd gen. site out there, Hawks, swap meets and boneyards. Link85x 07-25-2005, 02:51 PM Just emailed hawks to see what they offer for a set of 4. Damn, i just never noticed how good they look. I'm getin goosebumps man. wrightz28 07-25-2005, 03:01 PM Yeah, I'm trying to get the gold one's off a Bonneville now for my Buick. Has those stupid locking hubs that do nothing but rattle spin and cut the valve stems. Link85x 07-25-2005, 05:02 PM Hey wrightz28, look at these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Trans-Am-GTA-GNX-Grand-National-Camaro-Z28-Wheels-Rims_W0QQitemZ7989014875QQcategoryZ43956QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem damn, i wish i had the money on me right now. Rally Sport 07-25-2005, 05:04 PM My neighboor has those on his 82 Z28, it looks alright. wrightz28 07-25-2005, 05:20 PM Oops, I paid 250 for mine with tires (fiarlynew too) then again, that's the power of networking for ya. 89IROC&RS 07-25-2005, 08:09 PM link, personally i like your IROC rims better, but to each his own. Link85x 07-26-2005, 10:27 AM 89, i love my iroc rims, i wouldn't get rid of them. I just really like those GTA rims, i didn't know they came in black. I just like them, (still gonna get them). Wrightz28, what kind of "networking" are you talking about, can you hook me up? wrightz28 07-26-2005, 11:12 AM C'mon dude, networking, like job networking, trying to find a beater car you know. Somebody knows someone that has what you need to get or get rid of. 89IROC&RS 07-26-2005, 11:59 AM by the way, those rims come in every conceiveable color you could think of, they come in spray cans :) Link85x 07-26-2005, 01:11 PM "They come in spray cans" ROFLOL!!! Thats some funny s***!! Wrightz28, hawks doesn't have them, but i found this junkyard in NH, about 2 hours from i live, they may possible have them. They are just not returning my calls :banghead: . 89IROC&RS 07-26-2005, 01:59 PM try hitting up www.fbodymotorsports.com Rally Sport 07-26-2005, 02:39 PM You seriously need to bookmark those thirdgen sites, Link.
