  • 3.8V6 Engine problem

    HI,
    question

    I just read GM recalls 1.4 million cars. for a problem with the 3.8V6
    i have a 2001 3.8V6 Camaro, the Camaro is not on the list.
    does the camaro don´t have this problem ?

    Don't worry about it. You might be able to do that if you go in reverse up to a pretty high speed then hit the brakes. But I really doubt any of us will be doing that.

      hi,
      is the 3.8V6 Camaro engine so different ?
      the cars are on the list are all front wheel drives, or has this nothing to do with it ?

          Sounds to me that it may be with the valve cover gaskets leaking, in which case, with transverse motors, may cause a problem with oil leaking directly onto the exhaust manifold, giving the chance of an engine fire. When I found mine, I thought there may be a possible problem to it, but just fixed it. No more faint oil burning smell. I also don't believe we have the spark plug wire channel, or at least on my '96, there's just the normal wire retainers.

              If there was a problem, or a chance of a problem with the camaro, it would be on the list.
