If its not a flashing SES light you should be fine, and I would take it to autozone and have it scanned way before taking it to the dealer! -
Autozone = Free diagnosis
Dealer = Probably $80 to just scan<a href=\"http://www.onid.orst.edu/~waltejam/\" target=\"_blank\">98 Bright Red Camaro</a><br />Too many mods to list....check my websiteComment

I'll try autozone after work , if it's a sensor will they have the parts I need?
Thanks again for your help.97SILVERBID<br />Born to cruiseComment

More than likley they will. If you can stay away from the dealer, cost is way high. More times often than not like Nachius said "if you are not flashing it is okay to resume driving" Hit tha zone, find out the issue-things usually work okay from there.

Went to autozone and they did a check and I had a code for the cam sensor , cost me $40 and five minutes to put in. You guys saved me a good chunck of change. Super job leading me the right way

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from camshaft position sensor.
3. Remove the camshaft position sensor retaining screw.
4. Remove the camshaft position sensor.
