Thanks. I’ve been really surprised by all of the response to the video.

For sure, so glad I could help.

28,000 that’s awesome! At a little under 200,000 she’s still doing great. I just drove it over to my mom’s house. I put a lot of money into the suspension last winter. I need to get the windows and AC fixed. It’s not exactly a summer car when both don’t work. My daughter has a 99 firehawk with a little under 65,000 and drives amazing.

I’m glad I could help you.

Glad I could help, thanks for watching!

Glad I could help.

Oh no, it’s possible you could have a bad socket. I’m not sure if there would be a fuse for that. The tag light should be on when the headlights are on.

I gave it a bath and took it for a drive. Then I drive my 3.1 Camaro and I’m sad.

@@cartalk5585 at least you got to drive it.

Really sorry, most of the time I am trying to do these by myself. Some things are hard to do with one hand.

There is a cap covering the part there the bulb is, twist it counter clockwise, the you will see the bulb plugged into the harness, twist the bulb counter clockwise, thinking back there are one or two clips, pretty sure it’s one, stick a small screwdriver or under the clip just lift up enough to pull the bulb out. Hope that helps.

@@igigi6392 I’m glad to help.

Yes it is

I glad I could help. I’m thankful I don’t have your PTO Cable problem. I bought one during some of my repairs, but didn’t need it. My current problem is I’m waiting on a tensioner pulley to come in the mail. I started hearing a new squeaky sound when the blade is engaged. Within about 15 minutes the belt had come off and the pulley was laying beside the lawnmower. I thought I just put that thing on maybe 2 years ago, but my eBay purchase history has it at 5 years ago.

@@tammyforbes2101 I really enjoy driving the Firehawk. I have had 4 different V6 Camaros, but I have never driven anything like this bird.

Sorry, I wish I could help.

The old stuff is almost always better.

I’ve got a rattle again because I had to go with another belt to bypass the smog pump.

@@cartalk5585 I mention it because I'm trying to find idler video running to compare it to my issues, thanks 🤣

I have to run with mine on 5 just because it’s a good height for my deck. I’m not sure why it’s putting it under such a load to stall it.

@@cartalk5585figured it out. Lever arm was smashing into the brake conduit leading back to the battery. Got that out of the way and also unplugged another safety sensor.

You are very welcome. I had to dig for it myself and found a few pics. The shop I use had done it before but was having trouble with belt routing. I showed the owner a picture on my phone, and he was like, oh ok, no problem.

@cartalk5585 my snow pump makes a gurgle noise when reved slightly. And I've also been wanting to get rid of it too

That's what mine is doing!!! Driving me nuts! But I have had it stuck in lock position before too.

What brand?

@@cartalk5585 same ones in the video

@@mediaguy4037 thanks

I plugged the vacuum line and put an air filter on the vapor line. It cranks and runs much better now. Removed purge valve and an no longer connected to canister.

When it’s worse than poor 🤣

Mine won’t open how did you do it?

I watched it and tried everything

Did you unplug it, leave off a few min and plug back up? Did you try hitting it on top of where the switch is?

Looking in an old Chilton’s and it shows the fuse box and a list of items. It says U Fuse - fuel pump, but there isn’t a U show on the diagram. Is it the fuse that is under the hood on passenger side fender close to coolant reservoir?

Thanks

Locked or won’t lock problem?

Mine won’t lock same code

You know I can’t say. The blinker was doing its weird thing they do when the bulb doesn’t work. I was parked, turned the signal on, and check front and rear to see where the bulb was bad. I guess you tried a new bulb. Is the socket bad? The sockets on my 97 RS got cooked over time, but those are the yellow lens driving markers and they are on a lot. It’s the same bulb.

I have 3, V6 Camaros, 87, 91, 97. I honestly don’t like the standard hood on the 4th Gen firebirds. If you have a V6, I assume you have a 3.8 car. That’s a great running V6.

I really wish I had an answer for you. We have extra vehicles and we stay so stinking busy. My wife has been using the 06 Impala instead. I take the 2010 Impala out for a drive every few weeks.

Yeah, it was a first for me! I was messing with the timing trying to get it right. I was never going to get it right, half of the injectors weren’t working. 😡 There was a fuse blown.

I hope so, really glad I could help.

Yep I had the same issue too. I just replaced the PTO cable and it worked. I started to mow about 500 ft and the mower stopped. I tried starting it and nothing. Swapped out the battery, nothing. Investigated to see if there was some sensor. Looked at your video and I too noticed my engagement handle was more loose. Pulled back the lever and I was able to start the mower. Got many places on my property I need to disengage and reverse, so hope it won’t be an issue. Can’t try to mow until tomorrow, it’s 91 degrees right now where I’m at. Thanks for the video

@@mr2xtc glad my video helped you. Are you going to look into getting a spring and just fight it until you have time to put it on? My grass needs cutting to, it’s just been hard to have time to.

@@cartalk5585 replaced the PTO cable spring combo and it immediately felt loose. Looking at other video. Not sure how to tighten the tension. Or if there is a sensor that cutting the engine because of the looseness. Have to hold the handle to start and back up. Bit of a pain to do so.

Early in the 4th gen Camaros certain models if not all, I don’t remember, had black mirrors with black tops.

The 3.8 has been a good dependable motor. It’s got some good pep to it. It’s so much better than that weak 3.1 in my 91 Camaro. At almost 200,000 I’ve had some issues here and there. One annoying thing is I feel like I loose a plug wire to soon every once in a while. I use AC Delco wires and I usually change to whole set when it happens. As I type this I find myself thinking, I wonder if it’s the same plug wire every time?

Ok 😳 oops

Thanks, dude, the kid setting it on fire is crazy. It sounds like you like to have your hair in the wind. I’ve always assumed that convertibles weren’t very weather friendly. Heat, cold, rain, how do they do? Last time I drove a convertible was over 25 years ago. I rented a convertible mustang when I got married. I didn’t want anyone messing with my 87 Camaro, fresh paint.

Are they the ones that match your headliner?

@@cartalk5585 yes. They came from the factory. Basically cardboard, but it works and looks good.

I was about 20 years old and I saw in the grocery parking lot a 67 Mustang for sale. The guy who owned it was a year under me in school. We loved each other’s cars. Only by accident my 87 Camaro sport coupe and his 67 Mustang were the same dark blue, same Mangles 5 star rims, white letter tires. They perfectly complemented each other. I called my dad and wanted to know if he could help me get it. He said sure, but you can’t have both. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That was the end of that.

You are very welcome. Have a great day.

Do they sell them as plastic also? If so that’s terrible.

@@cartalk5585 Yeah the OEM's are a white plastic vinyl material i believe. I replaced mine with the brass 12 years ago and not a problem since. Its just a round gear about the size of an oreo cookie from what I remember.
