Re: 1992 Camaro at first barely runs, now doesnt at all

See number 5.response. A bad icm will allow the car to start but as soon as it heats up it will die.

Re: 1991 firebird 3.1l v6 starts then dies?

Check out response #4 above. Even if you have good fuel pressure - check the fuel pressure regulator or rebuild it as necessary.

Re: Engine will not turn to start yet everything checks good HELP!!

Sounds like you have resistance in the ignition to starter circuit. My '88 did the same thing. I hooked up a push button start for those occasions that it won't start.

Disconnect the vacuum hose from the FPR, start the engine, and wait about a minute and a half. If fuel comes out of the FPR port replace the diaphragm, if not leave it alone.

Re: Car stalled suddenly. Ignition switch??

In my '88 Bird it was resistance in the ignition wires. I put in a push button start as a backup when it wont start. The shutting off off does sounds like an ICM fault.
