Won't Start?
Alright i have been talking to this guy who has an 88 iroc that he is thinking about selling and im considering buying it but i wanted to see what could be causing the problem first. He said that with a new battery it would only start if you put the gas to the floor and held it there then i would sit at like 5grand but as soon as you let out the gas it staled immediately any ideas?

Could be something as simple as a fuel filter.

Is there hesitation when it revs up to 5k RPMS? How about does it hesitate/stall if you very slowly let off the gas when decreasing from 5k RPMS?

Always start from cheapest/simplest then work from there, buddys truck wouldnt start (same symptoms as the car your describing), i preached to him the fuel filter, he disagreed, he cleaned all the injectors, tested the fuel pump, injector pump, changed several lines, nothing..... then the fuel filter.... started first try

I was close. As long as the injector pump isnt shot it shouldnt be to expensive to repair yourself. (Heard they run for a couple hundred $$ or more)
