How could it be that...... The car starts!!
my 91 caprice would stall while driving it and it would not start,this was the day after picking it up from a good repair shop who found nothing wrong. I own the factory service manual,yes about 600 pages. The problem was a failing pick up on the distributor shaft,replaced the distributor and the car sounded like it did 20 years ago. The point IS but a factory service manual,it gives step by step of what and how to test part by part to discover what to replace.
Did you get it fixed cause I'm having the same problem
I found the rubber hose that connects the fuel pump to the outlet tube had a split in it, when I went to replace my fuel pump, this might also be your problem.
Map sensor my car run but shut off map sensor never shut down
