my LS1 wont start.. :(

[quote:ebf19954b5="walt_ni99"]i have a 2000 camaro LS1 5.7 (68,000miles) i was at work when this happend. i went to the gas station to put some gas so when i was done i tryed to start it up but i wouldnt so i called my sup. and he gave me a jump thinking that it was my batt. but the car wouldnt start so we tryed pushing it (its a stick). but nither that worked. so we just left because i had to get back to work so we came back like a 2 hrs later and i tryed again and it did. so i took it home had it at the house for 2hrs then i went out to my friends house once i decided to come back home the car wouldnt start so i tryed a 2nd time and and it started. but it choked and turned off and it just dintn want to start after that. so i left it at my friends house and towed it the next day to my house now i tryed again and it did start. but it would dye out and i tryed 1 more time but its just wont start...do you have any ideas? :cry:[/quote:ebf19954b5]

Try checking the fuel pressure to rule out the pump, then we'll go to igntion system looking for spark-do you know how to do this.

u think it might be my wires? because i just did my spark plugs...and the only thing i can think of is ( my fuel filter or the gas pump) ignition fuse perhaps but how to check they arent seethrough... a lil bit of guide wont hurt if u please ..ill apreciate it very much.. my uncle said something about the ignition coil paks but how to know if they're bad?

Try this check for a snapping blue spark-not yellowish with a plug wire disconnected and grounded to the engine while cranking it over-do you have it. I need to know this before we continue there's a reason to it before we get to the hard ones. Start or No start

sorry i was out for a few days.. my car still here ok i checked the fuel pump like u told me to, when i turn the key to the on position u could hear the pump work, so i disconected the hoses but not the power just to see if it was pumpin gas but it turned out to a no no. so i changed the relay. but that was a nono. now i remember u said something about checking for spark. why? and how do i?.. :?
