I have a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 67,000 miles. It sometimes has an issue starting up. It will turn over and immediately die. It usually takes a few more attempts and it will start up fine. It doesn't happen all time. I just replaced the fuel injectors and did a tune up on it 6 months ago. I have one theory and it could need a new electric fuel pump. Any other suggestions?|||Was this problem evident before changing the injectors and tune-up?
It sounds to me like the fuel in the line is returning back into the fuel tank after it is shut off. This will cause the car to start for a few seconds and stall. But, after the pump gets the fuel back through the line its fine.
This should only be a problem if it sets for more than 1 hour.
This will require a little more research on your part to find the valve that shouldnt allow fuel to flow back into the tank.|||Clean the iac, iac passage and throttle body with some carb or fuel inj cleaner. Incidentally, if you ever have to replace fuel pump on that thing, you're in luck, as that's the easiest in tank GM pump to change. A far cry from the brutal camaro pump change.|||when it turns over and dies, does that mean it starts temporarily? or does the starter give out? this could be a starter problem or it could be an intermittent cam or crank sensor signal. could also be a temp sensor out of range. best to have her scanned by a reputable shop.|||Change the fuel filter every 30K. It really does help.
