1990 chev camaro w/350 tbi starts wont idle dies immediately problem is getting worse will not start installed new fuel filter used jb80 to keep it running is it the fuel pump ?
That sounds correct and its probably electric and in the tank. turn the key to the start position then listen for a small humming noise coming from gas tank if theres no sound then thats most likely the problem.

Could be a problem with the pickup coil in the bottom of the distributor if equipped. The pickup coil provides the crank signal for the injectors and ignition module. Did you clear the code and then 53 came back ? On most models code 53 means the computer or one of the components is getting over 13 volts.
Have you checked Google I found this hopefully it's not your timing or it may be flooded but doubtful have you tried spraying starting fluid into the intake while cranking it
Fuel injection needs 20-30 pound pressure to fire the injectors. Try to check pressure before filter. If its low your pump is no good. If its ok then you have pressure drop after the filter. Filter on backwards or clogged.
You first need to check the fuel pressure, an easy way to access this is to buy a can of spray starting fluid, spray it into the TBI throttle valve and if the truck starts and dies you have no fuel pressure. Replace the fuel; pump, and make sure you get the right pump, it is a low pressure system.
yes use a cable comalong. as for you motor can you hear the vavles rattling with that many miles ur heads may be getting bad if the vavles don't open enough i could see it not running right
ignition module located in the distributor. aside from being a mech i also owned an '87 that went through modules frequently. remove it and bring it to an auto parts store like Autozone or OReilly and they have a machine to test your module before you buy one. Hope this helps!
Keep it simple and replace the fuel filter first, if thr fiiler has not been replaced within 30,000 miles or 1 year. Then it's a good chance that it's going to be the fuel filter.
