Top 10 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Questions & Answers

sounds like two problems. the front turn signals operate through the drl module. It's behind the radio. if you cut and splice the dk. blue to dk. blue w/ white, lt. blue to lt. blue w/ white on the black connector it will bypass the drl but all other functions will work. some say to disconnect the blue connector to bypass however this will discontinue other features, e-brake indicator, rear hatch button, ect. As for the rear light, i would check the rear lamp harness connector behind the interior plastic drivers side for power on the right signal feed and the splice ground.

pull off the door panel and make sure the motor is turning and there is nothing blocking the window from going up or down the motor might be burnt out but the switch is still clicking the relay on and make sure you spray the gears and window wires not the electrical wire with white lithium greese

power locks check fuse and relay.take car to dearlership.they have to check your theft deterrent module.when its in security mode.your problem could be it cant read the chip on ignition keys or the theft deterrent module is failing.not a home fix.

what do you mean by overheating? puking coolant out? or just high on the temp gauge. the rad fan should come on if the a/c is on. if the a.c is off, the fan doesnt come on till 220f or so. when the fan is on, there should be "roasting hot" air blowing through the radiator, if not the radiator is not flowing coolant.

Definitely check your fluid level in your radiator. Top it off all the way. I've seen that happen multiple times on cars that were low on anti-freeze. If that doesn't work try replacing your thermostat. It's cheap and the easiest place to start if topping off the fluid doesn't get you fixed up.

This camaro key has a chip on it it's call vats if you just want to replace the key you need to find out wich vats # it is, they are 15 different keys most of the locksmith places have vats key reader and the key may cost you about $25.00 if they do it,if you need the switch you can get it at auto Zone it comes with a regular key about $45.00 and you duplicate yours vats key with this one,hope this will helph.

P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input

What does that mean?
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the temperature of the air entering the engine. The PCM supplies a 5 volt reference voltage to the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor. The IAT is a thermistor that varies resistance based on temperature. As the temperature increases, resistance decreases. Low temperature results in a high signal voltage. When the PCM sees a signal voltage higher than 5 volts, it sets this P0113 check engine light code.

Potential Symptoms
There will likely be no symptoms other than illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL - Check Engine Light / Service Engine Soon).

Causes
A code P0113 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* Internally failed IAT sensor
* Faulty connection at IAT sensor
* Open in IAT ground circuit or signal circuit
* Short to voltage in IAT signal circuit or reference circuit
* IAT harness and/or wiring routed too close to high-voltage wiring (e.g. alternator, spark plug cables, etc.)
* Faulty PCM (less likely but not impossible)

Possible Solutions
First, if you have access to a scan tool, is there an IAT reading? If the IAT reading is logical then the problem is likely intermittent. If the reading is less than -30 degrees, unplug the connector. Install a jumper wire between the harness connector signal and ground circuits. The IAT temperature reading on the scan tool should be maxed out at the high end. For example it should be 280 degrees Farenheit or higher. If it is, the wiring is okay, and it may have been the connection. If it isn't install the jumper wire between the IAT signal circuit and the chassis ground. If now the IAT reading on the scan tool is maxed out then check for an open in the IAT ground circuit. If you get no reading at all on the scan tool, it's likely that the sensor signal is open or the 5 volt reference is missing. Check using a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) for a 5 volt reference. If it's there, then unplug the connector at the PCM and check for continuity on the IAT signal circuit between the PCM connector and the IAT connector.

Your Vehicle Has Pass Key 2 Anti Theft System--There Is A Theft Deterrent Relay That Activates Starter (under right side of dash) Most Times Problem Is Found Either In Key--No Or Bad Chip In Key--Or 1 or Both Grey Wires Going To Key Switch Broken Inside Insulation. Check That Someone Has Not Had New Key Made--Non OEM Keys Won't Work--If Not Sure, Take Key To GM Dealer And They Have Key Code Checker. The Only Place To Get New Key Is From Dealer--They Check Code On Old Key And Order One With Same Code-Then Cut To Fit Your Vehicle--When Key Is Inserted Into Switch Signal from Chip Is Sent To Body Control Module Through Small Grey Wires Allowing Relay Activation.
NOTE: If Key Does Not Read And You Don't Have Original One New OEM Key Has To Be Ordered Along with Replacement Body Control Module--They Can Only Be Key Code Programmed ONCE. If Key Checks Out OK --Check 2 Little Grey Wires Going To Key Switch For Breaks--Usually Breaks Inside Insulation--Making It Hard To See--The 2 Wires Flex Every Time Key Switch Is Rotated ---Now Relay Check--4 Wires--1 Yellow--1 Brown 1

Now That We Have Covered The Hard Things Let's Start With Basics--Momentarily Bridge Battery Wire To Purple Wire At Starter Solinoid --Starter Should Turn--IF IT DOES NOT--Bad Starter--Bad Starter Solinoid--Or Bad Battery Connections--Or Bad Battery (internal burnt strap)
