1994 Camaro - Hard start..
Hello. I currently own a v6 1994 Chevy Camaro.
Lately, I've been having some issues starting the car and when coming to a stop.
I went to Advance Auto and they did a Starter/Alternator/Battery Test. They said it was not the starter. Was told it was the alternator, which has been changed before. Also, checked to see if it was the alternator by taking the negative connector of the battery off while running and stays running.
Result = not the alternator.
Things recently done to the engine:
- Replaced the radiator motor which died
- Replaced the battery
- Intake manifold repaired
- Radiator flushed
I am not very mechanically inclined, so I'm not too sure what this could be. Although, I have read that this could be a bad CRANK SENSOR.. Could this be the simple answer to my madness?

Taking it to Advance Auto tomorrow to check for error codes next.
The service engine light has been on but one reason for that is because we have temperature sensor over-rode (i think is the way that was done) so the radiator fan will start right away.
It usually feels like it will die when i come to a stop. But it has only died when i have been turning into a parking spot or my driveway..

oh.....hmmmm.....to me it sounds like a fueling problem, throttle position sensor, or maybe a bad fuel pump.
