Do you have problems starting the car or with the engine? If so, I REALLY need to know.. I am considering buying this as my first car.. and if it's going to be too much trouble I might as well just get some Import Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Murtaz- They rate my 91 s-10 as having significant engine problems. I have 180k on the engine, and have only had to fix worn valve seals, a fairly common problem to any engine these days. After I clicked on the red X I discovered that the problem is with the 4cyl engine, not my v6. MSN's red X is kinda over-genrealized. Here is what is said about your Camero: Common problems on this vehicle are failures of the Coolant Fan Temperature Switch (VIN E TBI-V8 engine only), the Fuel Injectors (V6 engine only) and the Electronic Control Module (ECM), and a periodic problem is failure of the Fuel Injectors (PFI-V8 engine only). Failures of the Fuel Injectors may prevent the vehicle from starting.The cost to repair the Coolant Fan Temperature Switch is estimated at $9.00 for parts and $19.50 for labor.The cost to repair the Fuel Injectors (V6 engine) is estimated at $126.00 each for parts (total of 6) and $175.50 for labor.The cost to repair the ECM is estimated at $134.00 for parts and $65.00 for labor.The cost to repair the Fuel Injectors (PFI-V8 engine) is estimated at $134.00 each for parts (total of 8) and $338.00 for labor.All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax. Does not sound like a show stopper to me. Besides, do you really want to drive some front wheel drive import, with a fart cannon and "bling bling" wheels?

jsk Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Can this be a topic for "camaroZ28.com" website??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5SilverBullet Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 I had an 87, and after $1800 I could not get the coolant consumption problem fixed. Other than that and the oil pressure problem, I had no starting problems. I loved that car, I wish I could find my pictures of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
