Stalling cauases the car to not run?
 
I had to do some work in the garage so I moved my Camaro out of the garage. I turned it on for a brief second just to roll it out of the garage and I shut it off. When I went to return it into the garage I stalled it backing into the garage and when I went to restart it wouldn't turn over. I knew it was low on fuel so I put a little regular in so I could move it and it still didn't run. I disconected the Mass Air thinking I blew out another and it ran long enough to put back in the garage (roughly). I have oil pressure, water pump runs, and fuel pump primes.

Bad gas?

Did you put Sta-Bil in the tank?

I ran the car last weekend and hooked it up to the battery tender but forgot to put sta-bil in, I was planning on doing that today.

Did it run out of gas?

I would say that's not the problem since he added more and it still wouldn't start until he unplugged the MAF.

Alex, any luck starting it again with the MAF either connected or disconnected?

I filled a gas can today with fresh 93 so I'm hoping to fill it tomorrow afternoon & try again. I also hooked up my other battery tender to the car just incase.

I've gone through 3 Mass Air Sensors with this car and the symptoms are very similar. I ran it about 3 weeks ago and let it warm up in the driveway and it ran fine. Nothings changed since.

Update?

I'll be honest I've completely lost interest in that car. I haven't done anything but add some sta-bil to the cans of fresh super.

It was bad gas, I had the battery on a trickle charge, and filled it with a gallon of fresh super and it fired right up. I'm going to fill it up with super and throw some sta-bil in it when I get back from some errands.

Thanks for the help!
