Engine Keeps Dying - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If the battery's hot, then it's the cable. Otherwise, a fuel system issue. Funny, tuners for the V6 mentioned that iniital set-up seemed to be in the rich(er) side..just keep this in mind, for the break-in period..

maybe the car is searching for 2 more cylinders but faints when it comes up short?

jokes aside u need to take it in because that isnt normal.

Yes.

Just out of curiosity, how can I find out if my VIN is low or not? It ends in 04345.

The lower VINs he was referring to are below 2500. But do let us all know what the final issue turns out to be.

my truck would have the same problem, but it was related to a faulty air sensor. could be the battery issue as well...

Take it to the dealer and let them diagnose it.
