I did the very same thing about three weeks go. Exactly the same symptoms. Boy did I feel stupid! Thank the good lord a friend down the street who has a early 90s Camaro converted his to an electric water pump because in the two weeks I was trying to find out what had failed the core of the old...

93 LT 171,000 miles NO Codes set and I have not connected my computer to see what is happening dynamically - I replaced original Optispark due to failure last week, plug wires and plugs were replaced as well. I have noticed that the "hesitation" I feel when fully warmed up at part throttle is...

Well it quit again this morning. Well it quit again this morning. I was pulling into the parking lot at work and went to back up and it died not to restart. This time the fuel smell is rich and raw out the tail pipe. On the way to work it had started hesitating when the gas pedal was pushed off...

1993 LT1 Coupe Six speed 165,000 miles. It is my daily driver and I love this car. It now seem to have what seems like a hard long term (3-5 millisecond) miss or the like while accelerating. Here is a little recent history. I replaced the fuel pump a week ago since it was of unknown age, a...

I have been smelling a hot electrical smell when I push the A/C control head buttons that switch from Auto to Recirculate to Dash/Floor vents modes. Has anybody seen this before? It started about a month ago and I thought it might have been a fluke due to outside air being drawn inside and the...

I cannot imagine why you would remove the plenum. I replaced mine without having to. It took about an hour total. Now maybe the year model makes the difference. Mines a 1993 Coupe LTI.

Fuel, low oil pressure multiple things can get you this display. On another note, were your Hedmans long tube or shorties and what were the results?

Howdy English Guy! I got a complete set of weatherstripping for my 1993 last August for $339 before taxes and shipping. Now since I live in Texas maybe that is why I had no shipping cost. In any case I am extremely happy with the customer service and, more importantly happy, with the quality of...

The A/C panel wil light after starting the car and turning on the A/C. If will likley flash for a few seconds indicating a fault (like low gas pressure). You really need the factory service manual if you expect to do much work at all on these cars. It will tell you how to access the OBD1 port...

Boomdriver I live in north Texas and last summer I installed a 160 degree thermostat in my 93 LT1 because the normal operating temperatures made me very nervous. As mentioned by others it would heat until it got to about 230 the fan(s) would come on and it would drop to about 218 then the fans...

To echo GM Junkie I found this excerpt that emphasizes what he is refering to: Research on the driving light subject indicates that some C4�s have their driving lights grounded directly to chassis ground. This setup is ideal for the above modification. Other C4�s have their driving lights...

Weatherstrip I still have that 68 Camaro SS350. Restoring it now. Cragar SS mags.

I know right where Spring is. Had a guy that worked for me once lived there. Yeah Flower Mound is about halfway between Dallas and Denton.

Where are you at Boomdriver? What part of Texas?

Boomdriver, I feel your pain (or is it pleasure). With the Lone Star kit I got this car is tight. Women have to be encouraged to close the door with vigor or it doesn't close entirely due to the competence of the seals. Even with all the noise I allowed with the chambered exhaust (damn noisy...
