recheck the plugs and wires check for proper gap on plugs also check that wires not crossed and that wires are properly seated on cap and plug

I've heard that if you have a K&N filter, the oil applied to the filter can vaporize and get sucked thought the intake. The problem could be that this oil gets baked onto the MAF sensor. You may want to try and clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner available at a parts store. Do not use a brush on your sensor. Just spray, soak, spray, soak... until clean and shiny.

check fuse

i had the same trouble with my 98 3.8lt 3800 series II. i changed the spark plugs still no dice i changed the cables still same problem i then changed coil packs and the control piece under the coil packs that fixed it. the misfire caused it tho run rich ,which cause black smoke you might also run some fuel cleaner through it on a tank of primium gas. hope this helps

Yes, with a few mods. You may have to cut a little. Im not 100% sure it would just bolt right on even though the forth and fifth gen camaro do have the similar body styles.

Mirrors on page 2-55 shows a left/right mirror switch on the window control panel above the lock switch. OK?

Some cars have bars in the doors that prevent a slim jim from reaching any part of the lock, without the book, you are just guessing, locksmiths have the books, also. if you have AAA, They can send out a guy to do it, I had a guy come not too long a go with a big giant metal rod and I said, you're not going to stick that in my car!!! He said, ok, see ya, I said wait a minute, you are here. let's see what you got, He had a thing like a blood pressure checker that he slid in the door and pumped it up and got the door open far enough to get his giant piece of metal in there, took about 20 seconds, he was in. I said, I take back everything I said about you.

please be more specific.

Check the vacuum line that comes through the firewall--make sure it's connected to the intake manifold and no leaks or cracked hose. If this line is good, see if you can access the back of the switch. There is a big vacuum connector you can pull off and check to see that vacuum from the intake is getting to the switch (I think it's usually a black line). If you have vacuum there, you either have a bad switch or bad actuator. Listen for a vacuum leak at the switch with engine running or just as you shut the engine off. If the switch is good and has vacuum, then you should be able to actuate some of the doors. If it only runs to the windshield, then it probably is not getting enough vacuum, as defrost is the default wien there is no vacuum.

HAVE YOU CHECK YOUR FAN?????? THE OPERATION OF THE CLUCH OR ELECTRIC FAN PROPER OPERATION????

check the throttle position sensor

Are you sure it is the radiator itself? This can be caused by a bad cap. If it hasn't been replaced in a while(or ever)replace it now and see if that helps. If it does not help and you can see a crack, they sell a 2 part epoxy radiator repair kit for around $10. You have to be real quick though!! Use gloves. Be careful because this stuff does get hot enough to burn you. Let me know what you find.

i dont remember exactly on camaros, but if you dont see a nut on the wiper arm, then there is a plastic cap covering it. remove that with a screwdriver by prying off gently. and loosen the nut almost all the way off. now wiggle the wiper arm back and forth and up and down.. you might need a screw driver to pry from underneath with slight force. wiper arms are tricky. make sure you put it in the exact position you took it off from. sometimes you have to turn the wipers on and shut off the key to stop them if the hood is in the way,

You need to get the cooling fan checked,it may need a temperature sensor,fan relay or the fan motor may be burnt out.You can check the fan by running your own power and ground to the plug that comes out of the fan motor,unplug it and put the ground to the black wire and positive power to the other one,if it works then the next step would be to check the fan relay.The most common problem if the fan doesn't work but can be made to work with jumper wires is the temperature sensor,you can check it by unplugging it and jumping the wires in the plug.If the rad fans work then you are down to either the water pump or a plugged radiator,a rad shop should be able to narrow it down for you.
