1998 Chevrolet Camaro - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

yes it does

Check the engine ground cable.

Is it a standard trans? If so,does it does the vibration (with the trans in gear and your foot holding the clutch pedal down) disappear or is reduced? If it is better then the clutch disk may be damaged.

Could be your IAC (Idle Air Control), leaking throttle body base gasket, or a throttle position sensor

You have either a short to ground on the black/white wire going to the seat belt switch or you have a bad body control module. Disconnect connector C3 at the body control module and check for good ground with the seat belt UNBUCKLED. If you see that, it's the BCM

Who installed the new BCM ? The features that are not working need to be programmed into or turned on .Need factor tech2 scan tool to do that .

sounds like the lock on the line is bad or the lock on the slave cylinder is bad they make new broke stuff everday

cam shaft postioner

There are only the 4 nuts. Do you have the map sensor off? I have this engine and never had any trouble getting the rail up but it is tight back there.

Take it back

None of these codes by themselves will prevent the car from starting. I would look over the O2 sensor wiring. Maybe the harness is resting on a hot pipe. You can test the components--the sensor and both solenoid valves. Maybe there is a problem at the canister. Unfortunately, the canister and vent valve are atop of the tank, but you can still hear if the vent valve is closing when you apply ground to the white lead. The p0300 is the most likely code to affect starting. Are you getting sparks? If not, suspect the ignition module under the coils. I drive a 2000 Camaro, so I'm pretty familiar with this model.

got to your local auto parts store and ask one of the guys if they could take a quick look at your car and tell them whats going on. this is a hard question for me to answer without seeing the car. no help with the one store ? try another. most will be happy to help and spread their knowledge around. BUT most of all, get it looked at asap, and try running the heater with the fan on high, it's like a little backup radiator it will help cool the engine. Jay

Dash lights were falsing ? I assume you mean pulsing . driving lights come on ? daytime running lights or park lamps ,does the vehicle have daytime running lamps . Daytime running lamps module . Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Module (Headlamp Auto Control Module) Mounted behind the radio and the HVAC control, left of the instrument panel compartment.

It goes into the side of the engine block down low about center of block.

Usually goes in the third hole of the exhaust manifold..

Do you see a light somewhere on the dash that says SECURITY when this happens? GM's are notorious for failing anti theft systems that will actually lock out the starter. You wont even hear a click when you try to roll it over. If you see that light, go to this link for info and DO IT YOURSELF solutions.

Take it to a machine shop.

Is your car 100% stock? if so you shouldn't have a problem. If you altered something like lowered suspension or different wheels tires you created your own problem. Put it back to stock! I know you didn't want to hear that. If you scrape off the oil pan you probably will loose the engine.

It should be under an oval shaped black metal cover, on top of the upper plenum, which is retained by two small screws.

Try a product called CD2 from your local auto parts store. This will quiet noisy lifters. Comes in a yellow bottle.
