So Fix it

Manufacturing defects in 1987 Chevrolet Camaros have led to recalls due to problems with the vehicles fuel system, exterior lighting and seat belts. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), these safety issues could cause personal injury or property damage.

Fuel System

In 2006, NHTSA announced a recall of certain 1984-1992 model year Camaros to replace defective Fram fuel filters with part number G3727. A malfunction in the seals of some of these filters may cause a fuel leak, which could lead to a fire.

Exterior Lighting

In 2006, NHTSA announced a recall of certain model year 1985-2002 Camaros with combination replacement lamps built by Pro-A Motors due to a defect that could lead to a crash. The amber lectors on these headlights, turn signals and corner lamps are too dim to comply with federal safety standards.

Seat Belts

In 2009, General Motors recalled some of its 1984-1990 Camaros to repair a seatbelt-buckle defect that could fail to protect vehicle occupants in the event of an accident. The plastic portions of these buckles may melt in the sun, causing them not to latch.

You may want to remove the grill of your Camaro for any number of reasons. There may be grill damage, you may want to replace the grill with an aftermarket one or you need to do other engine maintenance. You can either grab the grill and pull it with force away from the car to remove it, or you can take your time pulling the bumper off properly so you can reuse the grill.

Instructions

Removal Option 1

1

Stand in front of your Camaros grill.

2

Place your hands on each side of the grill and get a firm grip.

3

Pull with force away from the car until the grill releases from the retainers. Remember, removing the grill this way may cause damage to the retainers so you cannot use this grill again. If you plan on replacing it with a different grill, by all means, just pull it off.

Removal Option 2

4

Open the hood of your Camaro and secure it in place.

5

Locate the five retainers for the Camaros front fascia, which are near the radiator support. Remove these with pliers.

6

Take the outer deflectors off of the fascia. These are located on the lower part of the corners on the bumper. There will be four bolts that must be removed with a socket wrench.

7

Stand in front of the bumper, look at the headlight, and find the support nuts and bolts that are located on the back edge of the light fixture. Remove these nuts and bolts from both sides of the bumper. There should be 3 or 4 bolts, depending on the year of your Camaro.

8

Grab the wiring connector that is attached to the headlight assembly and pull it away from the assembly to disconnect it. Do this for both headlights.

9

Position yourself under the front bumper so you can see the impact bar, which is straight back from the license plate. Remove the three retainers that are located there using pliers.

10

Stand in front of the bumper and pull it away from the Camaro. Put it gently to the side on a clean surface.

11

Use a socket wrench to remove the nuts from the grill. There should be four that run along the length of the grill. Also remove the retaining clips that are located there as well.

12

Grab both sides of the grill and pull it away from the vehicle.

Low oil pressure can be extremely damaging to an engine. It is also a good prognosticator of a more serious problem. This is something that you do not want to allow to continue because it will cause severe damage to your engine or even destroy it. Being able to diagnose these issues is a skill that the average car owner can acquire.

Oil Viscosity

Using an oil with a viscosity that is too heavy will cause the pressure to run low. One way to fix this is to try a thinner oil. Make sure to read the owners manual and change the oil to a viscosity that is appropriate for your area and climate.

Clogged Oil Filter

Check the oil filter to make sure that it is not clogged with debris. Sometimes a large clump or grit will build up and cause the filter to clog. An oil change can fix the problem.

Oil Pump is Failing

Failure of the oil pump is another issue. If the oil pump is beginning to go out it will cause the oil pressure to drop. These need to be professionally checked.

Bad Oil Gauge

Failure of the oil gauge is also a possibility. Before taking the oil pan off or getting a major repair you should have the cars oil pressure checked by a local auto store. They will do this for free, and this will back up the result you are getting from your oil pressure gauge. A professional needs to repair this issue.

Faulty Gaskets

Examine the gaskets around the engine head and around the oil pan underneath the car. The best way to do this is to wipe the edges clean with a cloth and then drive or run the car for a few minutes. Make sure that you do get the oil warmed up, since this will allow it to leak and show you where the issue is. If you see large amounts of oil leaking, this can force the engine oil pressure to drop.

The 1999 Chevrolet Camaro is one of two models of sports cars produced by Chevrolet. The vehicle was available in both hard-top and soft-top convertible, and was available with either an automatic or manual transmission. Each Camaro has its own unique VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) which allows the vehicle to be identified. If you lose your keys, most Chevrolet dealers can make a new key for your car as long as they have the VIN.

Instructions

1

Locate the VIN of your vehicle, which will be listed on both your registration and on your Camaros insurance card.

2

Go to your local Chevrolet dealerships Parts Department. To locate a dealership near you, visit the Chevrolet Locate A Dealer website, provided in the Resources section of this article.

3

Provide the representative with your government-issued photo identification, the vehicles registration and the VIN. The name on the photo identification must match the name on the registration to verify ownership of the vehicle. Once the ownership of the vehicle has been confirmed, and the specific vehicle has been located in their system, the dealer will cut new keys.

The 1995 Camaro is a sportscar manufactured by Chevrolet. The 1995 model comes with a V-6 engine along with a multipoint fuel injection system. If you are having problems with your 95 Camaro, there are several things you can do before taking it into a service shop. Common issues occur with the fuel, battery or the spark plugs on the car. These repairs dont have to be done by a technician. You can do them yourself.

Instructions

1

Pop the hood to gain access to the battery. Make sure that the connections from the cables are tight with the battery terminals. Use a pair of insulated pliers to tighten the connections. Look over the connections for any corrosion. Clean the connections with soda and a wire brush to remove the corrosion.

2

Turn the ignition to the "On" position to engage the instrument panel. Look over the gauges to make sure you have enough fuel to start the car. Fill the tank if you need more fuel. If the gauges will not turn on, you have a problem with your battery. Connect the battery to a battery charger and leave it overnight. Try to restart the car. Replace the battery if the car will not restart.

3

Look over the coolant levels if the car is overheating. The cooling system is on the left side of the engine under the hood. Fill the coolant system with 50/50 coolant to remedy the problem. You can use regular water if needed until you can get coolant.

4

Pull the spark plug from the spark plug housing on the engine. This is labeled as "Spark Plug" on the engine. Touch the spark plugs wire to the metal on the car. Look for a blue spark from the spark plug. Blue sparks mean that the spark plug needs to be replaced. Spark plugs can be found at local auto repair shops.

5

Look at the bottom of the car for any leaks. If you do find a leak, have the Camaro towed to a service shop for further inquiry. Repair shops have specific tools for diagnosing leaks.
