I am having issues with my 2002 Camaro it is a V6 and has 143k miles on it :(. When I go to stop the RPMs drop and my car stalls then when I try and start it, it will not start up again. I tried charging the battery with jumper cables, but then I gave up and left it for awhile......then is started up again and is running fine. It has done this twice already. When I try and start it, it acts like it is about to start up but doesn't. I have many guesses to what it could be. Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, Coil needs replaced, Alternator etc...... Any suggestions or helpful hints will be appreciated. Thanks everyone!!!!

Sounds like a clogged fuel line. I had all these signs with my 97 Silverado back in 04 and it turned out that the fuel pump had rusted. I was using octane booster at the time and it knocked off a bunch of rust that clogged the fuel line. It took forever to the start and usually only would if I mashed the gas pedal. Usually garages can check the pressure on the fuel line and determine if this is your problem pretty easily.
