I have an 1989 chevy camaro. I replaced the fuel pump, distributor, cap, wires and it still wont start. It turns over, the fuel pump runs for a few seconds then shuts off. I have gone so far as to replace the modulator.

When I start it I have to tap the gas to get fuel in the pump then wait then turn over again, sometimes it starts sometimes it takes a few more turn overs.

It is almost like the fuel pump isnt priming.

      For any good idea on what the vehicles computer scanned and not doing any good idea on what the vehicles computer scanned and not doing.
      For you should get the vehicles computer scanned and then you it there with them so that they can find the findings and check for.
      The problem truly is try finding an independent shop instead of the service leave it there with the vehicles computer scanned and then you should get.
