95 Firebird, 3.4
Brought the car to Guam 2 years ago. Last year, for reasons unknown, the car would not start. I had the dealer check it out. They replaced the PCM and one fuel injector that was leaking and causing the starting problem. A couple months ago I was running low on gas( a little les than 1/4 )and as I turned the corner the car just quit running. I got it started and limped into a gas station and filled it up. Car would start and idle okay but would not move when I let off the clutch. I towed it home, changed the fuel filter, new plugs, 3 new coil packs, hollowed out the cat. After many attempts I finally got it started. It runs pretty good once it starts but it takes about 5 min. to get it started. I checked the pressure on the fuel rail and somtimes it squirts out pretty good and other times it just flows out. Now when I drive I get an SES light and the car runs crappy. I shut the car off and the light goes away for a few minutes and comes back on.After extended driving the car acts like it flooded when I start it. If I let it sit for a couple hours it starts like normal. Question, could this be the fuel pump? If so, why does it run good after I finally get it started. Wouldn't a bad fuel pump make it run bad all the time? Any info would help. Its hard getting parts out here. I need to order most parts online.
Thanks
