#26 of 45 I need advice by ckamen Nov 27, 2008 (8:39 am)
I have a 1997 camaro and the drivers side door handle will not open the door. How do I replace or fix the problem so I don't have to keep climbing through the passenger side? It has manual locks and windows so hopefully this can be an easy fix. Any help will be appreciated, thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving

I just put new plugs in it. anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?                                 thanks,Tim Replies to this message: ls14evers (Feb 13, 2009 7:12 pm)
#29 of 45 maf & optispark / starting prob / door handle inop by elias Jan 28, 2009 (10:58 am)
ignition problems on the v8 fourth-gens seem to always relate to either MAF or Opti-spark. disconnecting the maf is one possible test. there may have been a few years/engines that were without-MAF too, fwiw. i am not aware of a good way to test the optispark without swapping it.   for a starting problem, avoid anything but lowest recommended octane gas - premium gas makes it harder to start.   for the door issue like that, probly ya gotta take off the inner door panel and maybe see what's disconnected/broken ? personally i am unable to remove a panel without significant unintended entropy resulting, but hopefully you will do better.

Replying to: gsxrguy2008 (Jul 14, 2008 8:17 am) sounds like you might be experiencing gm's vats system. if you have another ignition key try that one for awhile. if crank but no start doen't return the resistor of the first key has intermittent problem.

Replying to: elias (Jan 28, 2009 10:58 am) if your experiencing intermittent extended crank time try this little trick. if your a/c relay is the same as the fuel pump relay swap them. if your extended crank time goes away. replace the relay that you put in the a/c slot. gm has a fail safe system like if you are low on oil it won't start up right away. it also limits off the fuel pump. the reason it cranks so long is because it takes a moment for the oil sender to see oil pressure. when it does see oil pressure the relay opens then the motor wil start.

Replying to: TNT_RACING03 (Nov 27, 2008 2:44 pm) check the fuel pump relay. swap it with another relay on the panel. make sure they are the same numbers. if your problem goes away replace the relay you swaped over to the a/c. if it was a problem with the opti-spark a scanner would pick it up.
#34 of 45 1995 Z28, not running, but running. by mike7295 Mar 16, 2009 (9:35 pm)
I have a z28 that a friend gave to me as a gift last year. It has 130,000, in great shape, never had a problem until now. Last week I was driving about 1 mile and the car shut off. I cranked it but it wouldn't start. So I waited a few minutes. Then I turned the key, the car started, I got about 500 feet and it stopped again. My friend mechanic told me it needed a fuel pump, so i told him go ahead. After that the car has the 41 plus pounds of presure, which is right on, but the car has the same problem. I can drive it 1 mile, and it will shut off, or I can drive it 10 miles, and it will stop running. Today I let idle for 20 minutes, not prolem. Is there any one with the same problem that can help, I want to drive my car, but I just don't trust how far I can go.

I have trouble with the car, it will idle but when I rev the motor it dies out. I changed the fuel filter and the mass air flow sensor. It is still doing the same thing
