He’s definitely gonna be upside down on this car over the next month. But it’s domestic and he’ll lose perhaps $3,000-$4,000 which percentage-wise is pretty bad but actual money out of pocket not so much. Especially since possible TH-cam revenue and fun factor should more then make up for it.
@@j_freed Ik this is an old comment but who the hell cares about longevity for the "next buyer?" If it's my car i'm gonna run it the way I want. If the "next buyer" doesn't like it, they can kick rocks.
i got 3 cars myself and looking for a few more, as I like these older cars and there much more cheaper to deal with, just 95 Chevy G20 van, and i got 95 corvette, and my 04 nissan sentra ser
I bought that generation Z28 new in 1996 and kept it 12 years and 225k miles. I did that job twice. The second time I just cut an access hole in the top of the rear deck and then screwed a sheet metal patch over it. It took me less than an hour start to finish. The first time went just like yours, including a bump on the head! Congratulations on the new baby! I’ve done that twice too! Second time is easier there as well!
Kenneth Rolls That’s the proper way to start an engine that’s sat a long time, it makes sure it gets oil pressure to all the right places before it starts. Most people would rather kill a starter than an engine...
Tyler, in these uncertain times. I am very happy you are still making content. With baby and COVID. Your videos bring normalcy to life. And a lot of fun.
Yeah my '96 Z28 had the access hole cut by the previous owner. Gets a lot of Camaro guys mad when you do it but I ain't dropping the fucking rear end to swap a fuel pump lol
That is how I changed the pump in my 97 T/A Way easier than doing all that crap. And and it doesn't look bad if you do right.. and even if it did look bad, it will be covered up by the carpet anyway
I just bought a 94 z28 this summer.... it is the most fun Camaro I have owned. Mint full load low mileage T-top car. I am Soooooo glad I found it. Love it!!
There's a reason most people who own these cut an access panel to get the fuel pump out without having to pull the rear end out. I did this once pulling the rear end out, cut the access panel. I'm glad I did since I had to replace the pump again at 160k miles.
Love that era. Had a '96 with the 3800, 5 spd stick, posi and Y87 package. Handled great, light on it's feet and easy to get sideways even on dry pavement, unlike the previous gen 6 bangers. My cousin had a 95 Z, which was pretty wicked for that time. Nice to see a mint version!

14:35 Thanks Wizard, I'm glad a professional and well qualified mechanic shares my opinion on this fuel pump setup. I did the same thing on my third gen at home on jack stands

Thanks @Hoovies Garage for keeping us entertained during this difficult time - I’ve watched all of your videos over the years and wish we had AutoTempst in Australia!
IIRC, The 4th gen windshield rake was so bad that the engine was mounted on a cradle and changing the spark plugs involved partially pulling the engine out of the car. It was mounted on a special cradle to rock the engine forward to access the rear plugs. Heard that from a friend who worked at the GM dealer.
I’m surprised the wizard didn’t know about the trap door method people do for changing the fuel pumps on the 4th gens. Don’t even have to drop the tank that way
If you carefully cut a square piece out In trunk area you can put fuel pump in without tank removal you can also pump old fuel out make a new plate to cover hole and tech screw plate for future repairs
Ive done this on a prev gen firebird, same sort of fuel pump situation.... Cut through the Sheetmetal in the trunk, bend the metal up, replace pump. push metal back down. Carpet over.
There might be an access panel under the back seats if the tank was under the back seats. The tank is BEHIND the back seats, between the seat back and the storage tub. You'd think there would be a panel under the carpet, but no. GM didn't put access panels to fuel pumps in anything in those days.
RandomGamer not from the factory. It’s a super common mod though on these since it’s normally easier to cut through the trunk than it is it drop the rear end
@@EMFAudio i wonder if there's an immovable fire wall over top of it anyhow? Cuz maybe Chevy didn't want to gain a reputation for having fuel tanks explode right behind the seat like on old Fox body Fords.
@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 I don't know their logic behind it, I just know they dropped the ball on a few cars like that. The Astro for example has no reason to not have access in the floor, and yet you have to drop the tank to do the fuel pump. Murphy's law says it will always fail with a full tank of gas (26 gallons) and mine did.
I bought a 1997 Pontiac Trans Am with 8,700 original miles and it was hardly driven sitting in a garage. When I bought it, it started up fine and ran like a brand new car. The next day I changed the oil, tires and all fluids. I've got 13,000 miles on it 1 year later and the only other thing it needed was a new oxygen sensor back in September. It's been an awesome car inside out!
@@maroz2881 As someone who owned both 3rd and 4th gen F-bodies in my younger years, I can tell you that's exactly what some of us did. Getting to the fuel pump was unreal in those cars. Also remembering having to drop a 4L60E trans out of a 95 Trans Am on my back on my parents driveway. Getting to the top driver's side trans / engine bolt required a swivel, about 3 feet of extensions, and having to start by the tailshaft on the trans. Extensions would go over the entire trans, then swivel up at the bell housing to the trans bolt, and then swivel on to the bolt. You couldn't break it loose from above (or below) without unmounting the engine and tipping it back which I couldn't do by myself with the tools I had. So I had to lie on my back and start getting it over the trans, then lie on my engine and place it on the bolt (with absolutely no room for my arm and it's all by feel), then back under the car and hope you break it loose. 2 hours and 51 tries later, the bolt was off.
Chris M ohh yeah the access panel is the best was and yeah i heard how hard it is to get the trans out considering how much those 4L60’s went out sure it was a nightmare i had a 4L80 in my z28
Mine also needed both window motors replaced. And two PCMs. And a few other electrical issues. And also make sure the weather seal on the hatch, at the bend off the C (B?) Piller is waterproof. If it is parked nose down and it rains, water pools and it will leak and fill the wells under the back seats. Beautiful fun cars but F-bodies have their issues for sure.
I went to the junkyard to look for a part and came back with a whole car. back in the day, metal fuel tanks would have a drain plug. Where you could just take out the fuel without half disassembly the whole car
I have a 1999 Gen 4. LS1 is the real deal. T-Top, leather interior, 6 speed manual, 104000km (Yeah! Europe). She's got all her original HP and runs like a swiss watch.
I don't drop gas tanks anymore. I cut access hatches to get to the pumps and use the metal that I removed to make an access panel, no matter what vehicle it is.
Plus taking out the injectors and cleaning or replacing them. Even just checking them in the first place. I would have had the fire extinguisher on hand the moment you start working on the fuel system.
Why would you waste money on changing the fluids on a unknown engine? Get it running first to make sure there's not a rod hammering or a blown head gasket.
I had a 93 Z28 just like this as well as a 95 Z. The exhaust tips were the rectangle shape however they were black from the factory if i remember correctly, not chrome.
Just wait for him to fix it and then sell it to you at a loss like he does with his other cars. He bought a Cadillac from a guy, fixed it up then put it up for sale. The original owner was the only one who wanted it back for what he sold it. So basically Tyler just borrowed a dudes car and fixed it up and gave it back. LoL
I have a 71 f-100 that was sitting outside in Tuscon, for 15 years, so it was bad. we had it towed to a relatives house, and on the first day of working on it, it fired up. the second day the truck moved under its own power, and on the 3 day we drove it a total of 5 miles.
@@Athmox not as strange as both of you guys that missed the part in the video where they explained where it was welded and had to be cut, now thats strange !! LOL
That’s a standard exhaust shop crushing clamp that permanently crushes the pipes together. The clamp can be removed, but the pipes cannot be disassembled, as they are crushed together. Plus, it was welded anyways, which is the right way to assemble,
All Gen 4 Camaro owners know you put a port in the tunnel to access the fuel pump. There is more than 1 car I have fixed that way. It was $2000 plus to change like wizard at the dealer.
these fuel pumps rely on the fuel to cool them, constantly driving on empty burns them out eventually. Check the throttle body, could be dirty enough to prevent air from getting in, just spray with cleaner and wipe. Something that simple with such a tight tolerance will prevent starting. At the end of the video says it's injectors, never use gas with Ethanol, it really gums up everything.
That pan hard bar that hit the wizard twists if you get on it. I had to change the fuel pump in my 98 Trans Am by cutting a trap door above it in the trunk area. It wasn’t until 99 they changed the gas filler neck. What about the regulator in the injection rail. BG is really good.
On a serious note my son couldn’t afford that lovely Camaro. But he would love some ideas for cheap first cars! He currently loves 90s cars. Lincoln Continentals and the likes Cadillac Devilles. He is only 16 and earns his money cutting lawns and doing labor for friends. Trying to teach him right. He would love to see some of your ideas!

For real. I owned a 89 TA GTA and a 93 Z28 with a flowmaster just like Hoovies. Wow, the memories. Boy I'm old lol.
It's not.
It had only been off the road since 2010.. but still it's 27 yrs old. Cars from the 90s are now like cars from the 60s were in the 90s.

Well I guess a 27 year old car would be considered a barn find. Freaks me out that a '93 is almost 30 years old. Talk about getting old!

Remember the days before the fuel pump was immersed in the tank? 😜
Brent Boswell sure do, replaced the pump on my 78 f150 in about 20-25 minutes. Couple bolts, couple lines and that was it.
We used to pull the carpet in the trunk and cut an access panel to get to the pump. Whole process is less than an hour.

Silly Wizard, you're supposed to cut a 'Trap Door' in the interior to get to the fuel pump on a 4th gen.
And than charges 1350$ for lack of knowledge... for me fire was his fault too, he should have checked at least one injector after ten years.
How they did the fuel pump on my Saab.

Getting to the top driver's side trans / engine bolt required a swivel, about 3 feet of extensions, and having to start by the tailshaft on the trans. Extensions would go over the entire trans, then swivel up at the bell housing to the trans bolt, and then swivel on to the bolt. You couldn't break it loose from above (or below) without unmounting the engine and tipping it back which I couldn't do by myself with the tools I had. So I had to lie on my back and start getting it over the trans, then lie on my engine and place it on the bolt (with absolutely no room for my arm and it's all by feel), then back under the car and hope you break it loose. 2 hours and 51 tries later, the bolt was off.
Chris M ohh yeah the access panel is the best was and yeah i heard how hard it is to get the trans out considering how much those 4L60’s went out sure it was a nightmare i had a 4L80 in my z28
I think my favorite thing is watching Hoovie and Wizard work on cars TOGETHER! - It's amazing Brotherly, Kansas, Auto YT'ers, LOVE!
I'm so glad you bought this 4th gen camaro.
I need more content on this beauty.
Oh.... congratulations to you and your wife.
I have a 97 SS that's as clean as that one. And in Sebring silver, it's one of under 30 built.
still a catfish....
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 98 was the start of the catfish. Do not comment about stuff you have no knowledge of.

Oh the joy of 80's/90's camaro/transam tank dropping fun!
"a complete fail on multiple levels" i see what you did there
Mine also needed both window motors replaced. And two PCMs. And a few other electrical issues. And also make sure the weather seal on the hatch, at the bend off the C (B?) Piller is waterproof. If it is parked nose down and it rains, water pools and it will leak and fill the wells under the back seats. Beautiful fun cars but F-bodies have their issues for sure.

The wizards laugh at 17:55 😂😂😂😂
I went to the junkyard to look for a part and came back with a whole car. back in the day, metal fuel tanks would have a drain plug. Where you could just take out the fuel without half disassembly the whole car
Tyler's the type of guy to wear a Mustang shirt while reviewing his Camaro.
What? Wrong channel?
Westley Pierce I think it’s a Ferrari shirt with a mustang horse?
It's a Ferari shirt not a Ferrari shirt. Look up Mexican Stig's 24Hrs of Lemons stories on Vinwiki.
I have a 1999 Gen 4. LS1 is the real deal.
T-Top, leather interior, 6 speed manual, 104000km (Yeah! Europe).
She's got all her original HP and runs like a swiss watch.
11:45 - unexpected roleplay.. 🤦♂️😂😂
I don't drop gas tanks anymore. I cut access hatches to get to the pumps and use the metal that I removed to make an access panel, no matter what vehicle it is.

If it was me, I would have drained all fluids and replaced it before starting the engine .
Plus taking out the injectors and cleaning or replacing them. Even just checking them in the first place. I would have had the fire extinguisher on hand the moment you start working on the fuel system.
Ratherbit use the old fluid to gather the crap then swap it out after running for 5 minutes. Especially the coolant. As it cleans out better when hot.
Why would you waste money on changing the fluids on a unknown engine? Get it running first to make sure there's not a rod hammering or a blown head gasket.
I had a 93 Z28 just like this as well as a 95 Z. The exhaust tips were the rectangle shape however they were black from the factory if i remember correctly, not chrome.
I wanted one when I was in high school. I still want one. I'll probably never be able to find one this clean. I'm jealous Tyler
Just wait for him to fix it and then sell it to you at a loss like he does with his other cars. He bought a Cadillac from a guy, fixed it up then put it up for sale. The original owner was the only one who wanted it back for what he sold it. So basically Tyler just borrowed a dudes car and fixed it up and gave it back. LoL
Take a whiz wheel cut a patch out of the floor pan pull the pump and tack the piece back in. Lots easier Hoovey.
I have a 71 f-100 that was sitting outside in Tuscon, for 15 years, so it was bad. we had it towed to a relatives house, and on the first day of working on it, it fired up. the second day the truck moved under its own power, and on the 3 day we drove it a total of 5 miles.
Cutting the exhaust 6" away from where it's bolted together, though?...
Strange 😂
it was welded , it was bolted first to get it straight where they wanted it then welded.
@@Athmox not as strange as both of you guys that missed the part in the video where they explained where it was welded and had to be cut, now thats strange !! LOL
That’s a standard exhaust shop crushing clamp that permanently crushes the pipes together. The clamp can be removed, but the pipes cannot be disassembled, as they are crushed together. Plus, it was welded anyways, which is the right way to assemble,
17:06 OH GOD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love those old Z28s.Almost bought one in dark green.
to change the fuel pump you have to pull the whole rear axle, or cut a hole in the pan in the trunk where the fuel pump resides.
It hurt my soul to hear him turn that car over so much! 🤪
Dude, yes! Hope everyone knows that you should NEVER hold the starter for that long!
All Gen 4 Camaro owners know you put a port in the tunnel to access the fuel pump. There is more than 1 car I have fixed that way. It was $2000 plus to change like wizard at the dealer.
It is a option to cut a access hole in the floor to get to the fuel pump, then you don’t have to drop the tank.
Note to self, get Hoovie to help me do some mechanical work. It’s gonna take a bit longer but man is it gonna be fun.
these fuel pumps rely on the fuel to cool them, constantly driving on empty burns them out eventually. Check the throttle body, could be dirty enough to prevent air from getting in, just spray with cleaner and wipe. Something that simple with such a tight tolerance will prevent starting. At the end of the video says it's injectors, never use gas with Ethanol, it really gums up everything.
That pan hard bar that hit the wizard twists if you get on it. I had to change the fuel pump in my 98 Trans Am by cutting a trap door above it in the trunk area. It wasn’t until 99 they changed the gas filler neck. What about the regulator in the injection rail. BG is really good.
The most Tyler Hoover intro ever. 🤣
On a serious note my son couldn’t afford that lovely Camaro. But he would love some ideas for cheap first cars! He currently loves 90s cars. Lincoln Continentals and the likes Cadillac Devilles. He is only 16 and earns his money cutting lawns and doing labor for friends. Trying to teach him right. He would love to see some of your ideas!
16:02 Money shot!
19:22 lol, the fire extinguisher all on the floor and the shop filled with smoke
I like this gen Camaro even though I haven't seen one in person as I live in the uk
Lucian same, spotted a gen 3 one in Nottingham though
@@slideways8022 have seen a 3rd gen aswell near Birmingham
I had a 95 rag top. Definitely had some fun with it.
If you take the back seat out there's an access panel with 6 bolts for fuel pump. Very simple job
