89 iroc camaro
I have a problem with my 1989 iroc camaro over heating and cutting out really bad when i just want to cruise but if i mash the gas it will go with no problems. Does anyone have any answers for me.I have already changed the fuel filter and put some injector cleaner in my car and it still does the same thing.

Re: 89 iroc camaro
I agree...probably congested in one way or another.
Are there any other problems/possible signs?

Re: 89 iroc camaro
well i start the car in the morning and take off when i push on the gas it automatically starts cutting out then it also after driving it a little bit it starts to get hot. If i were to shut the car off for about a half hour i can get back in it with it still warm drive it and it doesnt really cut out but it will still get hot.

Re: 89 iroc camaro
sounds like fuel problem, start with easy crap first, like new fuel filter and some injectir cleaner.

Re: 89 iroc camaro
Under the dash on the drivers side, there in a plastic plate on the kick pannel.
Take it off and with the ignition key turned to on(car not started) use a paperclip to connect and A and B terminals. The check engine light will start flashing(the fan will come on to, but that is normal) Each code hase two numbers, and each code will flash three times before moving on to the next code. The first code that flashes is 12 and that lets you know that the computer is functioning properly. When you get your trouble codes, come back and post them, and we will tell you what they mean. If you have a haynes manual, then check in there too because that has a picture of the terminal.

Re: 89 iroc camaro
Not in the fuse box. Look at your right knee when seated in the driver's seat. You'll see a plastic cover just below the dash. Remove that cover and behind it is a 12 pin connector (not all 12 holes have pins in them) Bend a paperclip in a tight U shape and stick the ends in the upper RH 2 pins (A&B). Next turn the key on but don't start the car. You'll hear some clicking and the cooling fan come on. Watch the check engine light, it will flash like this: Flash.....Flash..Flash, It will do this 3 times. This is code 12 and indicates that the ECM is in diagnostic mode. Next it will begin to flash out any stored codes..eg, Flash..Flash..Flash.....Flash..Flash (code 32). It will flash out each stored code 3 times then move on the the next one. Once it is done reporting all of the stored codes it will go back to flashing out 12 3 more times and repeate the stored codes. Turn off the key and remove the paperclip.
Come back here and post any codes you got.

Re: 89 iroc camaro
Ok, you got code 12 (normal, means it is in diagnostic mode)
Code 14 and code 24 Code 14 is coolant temp sensor fault. This could be the sensor itself or the wiring. I would lean towards the sensor since you also said it was "cutting out" A bad coolant temp sensor will make the engine stumble and possibly overheat due to improper fueling. The sensor feeds temp data to the ECM which it uses to set the fuel trims. Code 24 is a VSS fault and could be; Faulty or loose wiring and/or connections at the ECM. TPS misadjusted. Faulty VSS
