well, if you dont want to drop the tank, you can pull the carpet back, and with a little pre-cut measuring to make sure you have the right spot, cut a hole in the floor over the tank to pull the sending unit, then weld it back in place. depending on your skills or options, it might be easier than pulling the rear suspension and gas tank.

good idea but my skill level on welding and cutting steel on a scale of 1-10 is 0

[89IROC&RS]

lol me too, i had another guy at the shop weld it up when we did it.

boo to in tank pumps.

lol, same idea from sending unit.

you dont need to weld it back into place, you can get a peice of metal that is i guess half inch bigger all the way around and then just pop rivet it back into place.

You didn't happen to just put an amplifier or anything in the back of the car did you?

lol, are you thinking screw into the wiring harness???

Something along those lines, the comment about the radio is what got my attention.

Once had to diagnose a driveability where the car would just shut off for whatever reason, the Sr. tech thought it was a vats issue. I drove this damn thing around for almost an hour, purred like a kitten. Did the "no-no" of turning the radio on and a good song was on while waiting for lunch. Turned up the vol. which activated the newly installed amp and pow, motor stalled. They spliced the ground for the amp into the ground for the pump, and the two just didn't get along.

my camaro rs would not start , at first it would after trying over and over, eventualy it wouldn't start at all.
I took the car to a mechanic they charged me a bunch of money replaced the computer, the fuel injectors, all kinds of bullshit
that worked for a couple days. then i had the same problem. I found this web site and after looking through thousands of these
discussions, some body told me to check the chip in the key to see if it was connecting, and it wasn't, so I was told to take a diode
that measured the same amount of OHMS as the chip in the key, and connect it to two wires in an orange sleve at the bottom of the
steering column. which would connect the two and compllete a circuit. which worked for a while but one day the car died and still
will not startso i am still looking for answers.


but it did work for a while here's how I did it
1. I took the chip out of the key
2. connect one of the wires in the sleve to each side (be creative)
but.... do not harm the chip....
THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP
CHECK V.A.T.S, PASS KEY DECODER MODULE
