okay, i just bought this camaro, and when i first got it, it had a hole in the fuel line right behind the fuel filter. so i had to replace part of the line and the filter itself. we test ran it and it didnt leak and ran fine. but when i got up the road a little ways and started up a hill, it died and then didnt wanna start for a little bit. but then i cranked it and it started up no problem, started driving fine. i dismissed it thinking it was just the fact that it was lowon gas and maybe some air in the line. got about 6 miles down the road, pulled up to a friends house, parked it and got out, came back about 10 min later. went to crank it and it wouldnt start. it would crank, butnot fire. so again i dismissed it thinking it was just outta gas again. so i went and grabbed my gas can outta the trunk. had about 2 gallons in it. dropped that in the tank. went to crank it. it turned over, but then it wouldnt stay going. if i touch the gas pedal at all it dies, and i shakes the entire car really bad, like after i start it up it acts fine for like 2 seconds, but then it starts shaking really bad and if i touch the pedal, dead. got me stumped. i checked the line and its not leaking, but my buddy noticed that gas was leaking out of the exhaust pipe.
so now i ask, could it be the spark plugs, or could it just be that its still low on gas or maybe just flooded. dunno whats going on

I have the same problem with my car. I have not noticed the exhaust. The car does start, shake, and stall. I have noticed smoke coming from somewhere near the engine. Have u noticed anything like that.
