problem #2

Firebird T/A 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

When I start our Firebird T/A it stalls instantly. I have to try 3 to 10 times and then it stays running.
Sometimes it runs the first time but then it runs on less then 8 cylinders. I have to start it again to get it run on all 8.
Sometimes it starts correct the first time.
Repairs until now: new ECM, new ignition Lock with key's, new security module and we installed a VATS bypass module and the problem is still there. The experts in the Netherlands don''t know what to do anymore. Please help!!
