1988 Camaro won’t start

Asked by JSimpson07 Feb 12, 2019 at 09:29 AM about the 1988 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving yesterday and the engine just shut off.  Pulled over, filled it with
gas and it would crank but not start.  Coil wasn’t sparking to the distributor,
so we replaced it and it started right up.  Let it idle for 5 mins then it stopped
working again.  It has been raining the last 3 days so I’m not sure if there’s a
wire shorting out? Any advice would be helpful

It ended up being a bad Ignition control module. Swapped it for $40 and put the original coil back on and it’s been running great since

    My 02 camaro (3.8) won't start. It was running fine but then it just stopped. It tries to turn over but won't start. I'm getting fuel to the rail and replaced the relays under the hood.
