Hello to all!
I have just finished putting her back together~! ("Her" being my 1994 Chevy Camaro, 3.4l V6, 150,000 miles, 5speed manual) I had to replace the lower intake manifold gasket due to a coolant leak. I used my Hayes manual, a torque wrench, and a lot of time and energy to try and start her for the first time this morning. She has been sitting for 3 weeks, going no where, but looking good at it!
I have electric power, battery is good. So when I go to start the car I get the starter sounding like it is struggling, and it does not seem like the motor is turning. I have fuel pressure at the schrader valve, but no start. I took the car off the jack stands and pushed it down the driveway, popping the clutch, maybe the motor needs a little manual turning? No joy.
Since the starter seems to be struggling, I have backed off, and am sending up the flag for help. Please respond, I need my car back for this coming work week.
Thanks to all!
Jack
