Every morning i drive to school, when i go to start the car it will take anywhere form 3-8 turn of the ignition to start, sometimes it even helps to give it a little gas. Im not sure if it is the fuel injectors. I have been putting fuel injector cleaner in for the last 2 fill ups. Also about 5 out of 7 days a week, i will pull out of the drive way and the car will sputter for about 3 minutes before it will actually accelerate smoothly. And finally, this hasn't happened before, but has been for the last couple days, i will stop at a red light and the car will stall out.??.

Here are some issues with the car: I has sat for 3 years without being ran, but only has 38000 miles.

thank you dor any help! -John

If you have a carburator,You're choke isn't working,if you have fuel injection,you have either a bad Idle air control motor,or fuel pressure regulator.

My 98 camaro had a sputtering problem. When i would turn it on it would sputter and rev up and down for a while. Sometimes it wouldnt stop.
I replaced the spark plugs and it ran fine for 2 months. It started doing it again and replaced the ignition coils as well as a tube which bust and made engine overheat. After the second fix i havent had a problem at all.. Its been a couple months and runs fine.
So it could be :
Ignition Coils, Spark Plugs or engine overheating. Take it to a mechanic and have them look it over
