I have an 88 camaro. Last week I drove it for about 20 minutes then parked somewhere, when I came back to start the car it would turn over but wouldn't fire. I ended up coming back the next day and the car started just fine, I drove it to a garage and it died in the parking lot. The repair shop looked into it and said there was a short in the ignition distributor that blew out the fuel pump. Both were replaced. After I picked up the car I noticed it was blowing out quite a bit more white smoke (it has for quite a while now coming off a dead stop.. the car burns oil) Now 3 days after getting the car back and after a $430 bill (there were a couple other misc parts needed) the car is once again not starting when it's warm.
I'm curious if anyone can give me any advice. Any ideas on what the problem could be? and just as important, how do i deal with the repair shop that looked at the car? I dont' really care to take it back to them since the car appeared to run worse after I got it back and is broken 3 days later. And at the same time I don't care to be paying them $430 when the car hasn't been fixed at all.
