EGR Valve?TPS Sensor?Vacuum LeaksYou know it is a throttle actuated issue

either hose or water might be coming from water pump peep hole when water comes out need to change waterpump or thermastate gasket

I just had the same problem my truck felt as though it shifted into neutral after transmission got hot and then when it cooled it shifted normal, transmission lost high gear.if your car starts right away the maybe its your neutral safety switch.hope this helps, I am not a transmission guy, just what I would check first.

check your brake switch, if alls well there then I would be checking your turn signal switch in steering column, cause it runs through there for haz.

Remove the thermostat and run the car. Without the thermostat you should see FULL flow thru the radiator. You can pull the top radiator hose WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE RADIATOR and start the engine with a garden hose stuck in the filler opening. Don't turn the hose on so hard that it blows water out the radiator hose. You want to water pump to shoot water out the disconnected hose, not the garden hose. A hose COULD be blocked, but it would have to be a pretty big blockage to cut off all flow. Not likely in my opinion. You could take them off and look in them and the heater hoses too. You can blow compressed air thru the heater core to see if it is blocked. As for it being the water pump...they rarely break so bad they won't pump water. Usually the seal goes bad and they leak water out the shaft. Look around, I kinda think you have a bad thermostat. Stuck closed. Drop it in boiling water and see if it opens. You didn't say what engine is in the Camaro, but most of them have a small bypass hose on the top of the water pump running to the intake manifold. Pull it off and see if water sprays out when the engine is running.

better change the timing chain or ull be swappin motors--while down there inspect front seal and water pump

It can be a number of things. The way to find out what is to hook a code reader or scanner to it and find out what code(s) are in the PCM. Until that is done, anythig else would just be guess work.
