hello there, thanks for the welcome, the motor in my 86 is out or a camaro

 

thanks for the welcome space, it is real nice today in Warren, not a cloud in the sky. to bad i need to spend all day trying to figure out why my 2000 won't stay running. never had an issue until thursday, ran like top, now all of a sudden over night it won't run unless i keep feathering the gas pedal and i have no check engine light, needle in the haystack type day here.

thanks
Luke

 

Hi `Luke,
Sorry to read that you are having a problem...Have you checked your fuel filter or fuel pump ? Do you have the original `cat on it ? They can clog up & cause problems ?

Are you mechanically inclined ? or do you know someone that has automotive experience ?

Make a post on your problem if you can find it & be as detailed as you can about your Monte Problem...Good Luck!

 

yes sir i did post it in the tech help section, yes i am very mechanically inclined and have not replaced the cat yet, i've seen several views of my posting but no suggestions yet. i am going to go prod around with my ohm tester in a few to see if i can find a bad connector somewhere. hard to pinpoint an issue without a check engine light ...

thanks
