My 89 chevy camaro only starts if i hold the gas peddle all the way down. If i release it dies out, also the highest the rpm will get is 1500.I was told that it could be a bad fuel pump or fuel filter. It also looks like it is leaking around the top of the fuel meter assembly where the gasket is located. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanx, Robert
