1989 Chevrolet Camaro Questions & Answers
89 camaro 5.0 tbi injector pulse intermitant
What have you checked? I would start with a noid light to see when the two injectors wiring is pulsing. if intermittent then i would check the pickup coil located inside the distributor. It controls timing for the injectors and for the timing advance.

1989 camaro rs won't turn over replaced starter
need more info, do you have lights? radio work? if everything seems to be functioning but nothing happens when you turn the key, i would say its your VATS system, very easy to bypass, just look it up on TGO
I have 89 Camaro, fuel
Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, with TBI, around 9--13 psi. There probably isn't a Schrader valve, to check fuel pressure tee into supply fuel line. Be aware of possible fuel pressure when taking fuel lines loose.
No oil to lifters and rocker arms
When building an engine you need to ensure the basics are correct as you proceed - all oilways rodded through and thoroughly cleaned and then ensure each gasket and each bearing shell correctly lines up with each oil way, no detail must be overlooked.
The oil supply to the top of the engine is usually regulated. In earlier pushrod engines it was often done by the camshaft. In other engines some sort of restrictor device was used. One GM engine I used to work on used a cylinder head dowel with a tiny hole. Some people used to mix it up with a solid dowel and starve the valve gear of oil and others incapable of working cleanly would either overlook a speck of dirt or actually introduce some dirt of gasket cement into the oil system and eventually block that tiny orifice.
I suggest you go back to basics because it is the only way you can instal a finished engine and know it is going to be ok.
I dont have power on a 89 camaro rs fuel pump
First of all you will only have voltage for 2 seconds after key is turned on from the fuel pump relay. after that when you begin to spin the engine over oil pressure then builds up and closes the contacts on the oil sending unit causing the fuel pump to stay powered up as long as it's spinning or it's crunk and running.
so while you check for power on the tan with white stripe at fuel pump , have someone bump the engine over, if you have power up until about 2 seconds after they let off the key then check ground to pump if it's ok then you'll need a fuel pump.
If you don't have voltage when it's spun over then check the red wire coming from the oil sending unit the same way you checked it at the fuel pump.
If you have voltage then check inline fuse beside the battery. if fuse is'nt blown then check for broken wire from there to fuel pump.
If you don't have voltage from red wire at oil sending unit then check for voltage on orange wire at sending unit, if you have voltage on the orange wire and not on the red wire while someone is spinning it over then replace the oil sending unit.
If you wanna do a quick check that makes sure your relay isn't the problem Go to your 12 way diagnostic connector under dash by stearing wheel. and touch a battery hot wire to pin G if relay is ok the you should hear the fuel pump come on.
