Hello,
My trans am is very difficult to start. When it finally does it feels like it wants to die again but once you give it gas it gets going but the engine shakes and it is very rough. Once is in gear it goes fine and the shaking goes away. I turn it off and it starts right away but still shaky on idle. I let it cool down for 10 mins and it's hard to start again. I noticed a little puddle of something perhaps gas underneath the air intake on top of the manifold right next where two fuel lines come in. My mech told me it could be a bad sensor but not sure. Can you please help?
