  • Arrggghh!!! Problem After Endless Problems

    I can't take it no more guys, lol. More problems to the long list of stuff wrong with my car. It's summertime for christ sakes, I want to spend my money for cool mods not keeping my car running. Anyway, after I got all my tranny problems solved. I took my car to school this morning and it was fine. It's about 85degrees today and I was bringing my car home. And I noticed after some driving it started shaking really really bad. Normal temp, oddly the oil temp went down when I stopped at a red light but other then that was good, and everything else check. Got home checked my fluids, all seem good. Added a little tranny fluid took my car out for a little road & track on my secret little dragway and it performed flawlessly. Then I noticed the temp gauge going around 220, and not all in my life have I had the temp change from 195 not even in 100degree weather. My coolant looks good, oil looks good. Whats the problem? Anyone know? I think im leaking a little coolant after the car cools down im gonna be all over it tonight. Has anyone had any similar problems?

    Have u changed your coolent lately? If so there might be some air in the system causing ur temps to jump once in a while. Not sure.

    When i changed my fluid i didnt bleed the system and the temp would jump everytime it hit an air pocket.

    220 is not bad....now 260 on the other hand :D that would be bad.

    Not sure about ur hessitation, i doubt it has anything to do w/ coolant...gotta be something w/ fuel/spark dilivery. Not sure. sorry...good luck.

        Thanks for the quick reply. You sound like your having problems like me. I think the guy who sold me the car put an omen on it. He said i dont' want you at the track up there or your cars going to break down. I had it for 6 months and drove it like i stole it and never had the tiniest problem with it. I took it to the track a month ago. And it all began.

        Alternator Burned Out

        Power Steering Pump Burned Out/Leaks

        Transmission Dives into lower gears/Leaks/Metal Particles found inside it.

        Brakes Shot within 2 months of new ones, rotors warped and grinded on my brakes

        Coil Pack Burned Out, And Spark Plug Wires Shorted

        Bugs In My MAF, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Damn Ram Air

        My I Pipe Looks like someone tied it in a knot and my CAT is about to fall off from rust. My driveshaft also looks like ****.

        Had A few problems with my GF Delete Mod too
        Damaged QuarterPanel :mad:

        Car Sags really bad in the back and is lower then all other camaros, it doesnt' look like a dropped camaro it looks bad.

        I feel a lot better we both got bad problems, lol.

        Thanks Man, Ted

            Last one year, I'll go in order from oldest...

            Plug wires, alternator, valve body, leaking intake, water pump, PS pump, PS hose, EGR, spark plug and three leaking shift shaft seals.

            I just had my car taken in three weeks ago because I was leaking some tranny fluid. Well...they've changed the seals twice before and even the shift shaft itself and I just noticed two new drops in the garage.

            I'm getting mad...but its all under warranty...but its still my time taking it in. I dunno...come hell or high water, summertime this Camaro will be modded!
