90 camaro hell

[miecow]

i just bought a 90 camaro 3.1 v-6, and i'm having a few problems..
it stalls when i hit the gas but not all the time, when it starts stalling it does it alot. i also have no interior lights (gauge cluster, console anything) and half my gauges don't work (tach, oil pressure ) the tach maxes out as soon as you turn the key and the oil pressure jumps around like a skitzo.. this is my third third gen camaro i've owned but it has the most problems... any help will greatly be appreciated

Alright, I have no idea what it might be but goto www.thirdgen.org it helps you out on almost any problems with your thirdgen maro/fbird, hope it helps out.

sounds like a neglected POS... and why did you buy this again?? please tell me you got it for $100. If it's running this bad I'm sure everything else has been neglected, so check everything(oil, coolant, etc).

anyway,
-reset ECU by disconnecting battery for 5mins.
-check that spark plug wires are going to the correct cylinders. (use manual)
-look for wires (in the engine bay) that have been tampered with or heated up severely (by the exhasut manifolds).
-use Haynes repair manual to get the error codes from your ECU (pretty easy), check corresponding sensors according to the manual.
-replace accessory fuse in the fuse box which is located above and to the left of the brake pedal. check all other fuses too, get the fuse tester.

yeah, rather than trying to figure out your problem, im more or less gonna spend my time trying to figure out why you bought a car in such rough shape... pry wasnt the best of ideas..
