HEADS UP!! my camero had a short because when you close the hood, the hood hinge on passenger side acts like a knife, when you close the hood. The hood hinge slices through or will ground out the wires going to the PCM. It gave me a code for MAF sensor. Checked fuse, was blown. Luckily I found the problem myself. Solution: place a peice of plastic wire loom over the wires coming out of PCM to protect it from the hood hinge
I’m going through it now as we speak I have had gotten the computer the new key ignition with the two keys that came with it and I’ve gotten one of the keys made with a chip in it still no crank no start. The battery fully charged all lights come on fuel pump comes on it’s just not cranking or turning over
Hey there DaFantWay, I can feel you brother. What car are you working on ? What was the initial complain on this car ? Why was the computer replaced as well ? Hope I can help out a little
I dunno much about 3.8s but have a 99' SS since 04' and i know on the ls1 cars 98's and 99's had different fuel systems like 99's have internal regulator and returnees fuel system where the 98's external regulator and a return fuel system, the line with green cap goes to evap purge valve and continue to larger intake port where the smaller port looks like coolant everyone bypasses those maybe engine or intake been swapped from different year if fuel tank is metal its a 98' or very early 99' plastic is a 99' car
@@OzMechanics Hmm? She's only 22 and addicted to huffing gas fume's! Id go in the trunk and cut a door to pump and trace the 3 lines off pump with air i cant remember exactly how the lines run think one is gas others are vent. the older style pump had 5-6 lines I modified my system like 5 years ago when i added a china choo choo i dont remember if any lines tied into the emissions, elec pump, the pvc or map sensor
@around 9:20 I am thinking faulty ground. And also thinking does this need a case ground? I have a video on a Saturn Ion that is very similar. Let's keep watching.
On part 2 I actually found another computer on the back seat. Had 3 in total ! And the customer just told me to put the new one because they already spent the money
@@OzMechanics was going to ask that but you've already answered the question. Customer could sell the reman pcm that it probably never needed anyway, save all the hassle of programming
I got a 370z with no crank but everything works good and no Volta drops when I hit the start button I have no clue what to look at already replaced alternator starter fusible link on battery and the clutch switch I’m lost at this point any advice
It would run like that when the fuel injector previously had been stuck open and it dumped a bunch of fuel into the oil so it will run on fumes from that for quite a while until it all evaporated out. If it hasn't been doing it too long (enough to varnish up the oil real bad) you should be able to just run it until the engine "cracks" all the gas out of it, or, to be safe, just dump all that oil and put in new, then hook back up the fuel lines (and of course figure out why the pump isn't push gas thru them).
I’m guessing it has something to do with the evap system? I’m so confused lol maybe the purge valve is stuck open allowing fuel vapors through the intake. But even than that would be a vacuum leak…. That don’t happen to Toyota’s lol
Had the same problem with my 99 ss. I opened the harness from the ecu to the starter... and there she was. A separated wire. The break was after the area I was testing for power. Closer to the starter. Check it out
OZ you need to bring up scan data and minimize it and go to the green color scope and then bring up the bottom bar and then you can see both if you need more help let me know
Are the electrical problems causing the starter to stay engaged? I don't think I heard the starter but what is the engine burning if it's running. This is a tough one
No question is a dumb question. It was sparking because the pcm didn’t have a ground, like shown in the video, the ground cable was broken. so because the case of the the module is metal, it is a conductor and when the case touch the body of the vehicle, it found a source of ground. Example, when you hook up battery cables to your battery. You see how it sparks, when you make that connection at first. That’s what’s happening here
@@OzMechanics thank you I get it the module was looking for a ground and the case being metal( conductor) that was the path to ground for the module. Thank you for the reply
It's a shame that your scanner glass screen broke. It breaks my heart to see that, great video otherwise. Grounds, fuses and battery terminals and relays first.
i have seen engine start with no starter .just turn key on and it run it did it many time after turning key off,and it was not a hybrid it was 20 year ago
@@OzMechanics there is no issue ! that good thing ! just luck engine stop on the right cyl that was on compression and seal the compression for good will and was the cyl that first fired i imagend the coil fired up on key on. these truck are crank more than 100 time a day.do not remenber was a carburator or fuel inj ,but remenber showing other guy in the garage that

You have the most valuable camero in this day and age!
One of the best !!!
That ending 😳 that’s insane. Ready for part two!!
Let me know when you have watched part 2
That Camaro is running on pure heart.

I like your videos you made it looks easy but I know it took much time and efard to fix it thanks you are intelligent man
Thank you. This vehicle was a hard one to work on
OZ, OK Brother where is part two been waiting long time as always AWESOME information u always show like ERIC shows from advance auto.

Evap, maybe high fuel content in engine oil? Crazy!!
great diag ! Things just got interesting lol
The next video will explain it allllll
Had mine 11 years pulled hole car part had same prob was a eletrical switch on steering wheel 99z28 ls1
Amazing stuff. Waiting for part dos. Regards sir.
Thanks m. Hope everyone enjoys the second part
I’m guessing it has something to do with the evap system? I’m so confused lol maybe the purge valve is stuck open allowing fuel vapors through the intake. But even than that would be a vacuum leak…. That don’t happen to Toyota’s lol
One hose is an Evap line.. The other two are fuel lines...Still not sure why it's not pumping fuel.. I thought I seen a relay pulled out.
erratic dash blinking most times is a ground issue, but good work

That engine is the answer for gas high prices, runs with the fuel lines disconnected you have to patent that technology bro 🤣👋
I just sent in the patent papers lol

Nice job
That is one crazy car !!
It is. And I can’t wait for y’all to see part 2
OZ you need to bring up scan data and minimize it and go to the green color scope and then bring up the bottom bar and then you can see both if you need more help let me know
I couldn’t bring scan data. No communication
Oz I certainly enjoy watching your repairs process.ck,wisc.
Great job
Thank you
Good job
Thanks
Great job!

Are the electrical problems causing the starter to stay engaged? I don't think I heard the starter but what is the engine burning if it's running. This is a tough one
Are you talking about the end of the video ?
@@OzMechanics I know you fixed the ground but I can't see how it's still running at the end. Maybe it has more electrical problems. Good cliff hanger
@@TheShop10 that will be explained in the next video
aww man what a cliff hangar...I was hoping since the live cast you would tell us how a car is running without any fuel lines....lol
That will be revealed on the next video
Hi might sound like a dumb question. But why was the module sparking when rubbing against the body ?
Thank you
No question is a dumb question. It was sparking because the pcm didn’t have a ground, like shown in the video, the ground cable was broken. so because the case of the the module is metal, it is a conductor and when the case touch the body of the vehicle, it found a source of ground. Example, when you hook up battery cables to your battery. You see how it sparks, when you make that connection at first. That’s what’s happening here
@@OzMechanics thank you I get it the module was looking for a ground and the case being metal( conductor) that was the path to ground for the module. Thank you for the reply
It's running off of the evap vapors.
In the end of the video it shows the evap line off and it says it on the text as well
@@OzMechanics Then it may be fumes in the crankcase feeding through the pcv.
HI OZ, SUCH A GREAT DIAGNOSTICS AS ALWAYS. THANKS
Great fukn video man! Really helped me out!
@17:30 I can relate to that feeling - except for me there are a lot of expletives added in...
Great Cesar's ghost!!!
Which software do you use to programme a module?
SPS2
Ground connection...on to the video...:)...
Now the question is what is causing the issue that is shown in the end of the video ???
Awesome

Mine is doing the same thing i have a 95 with the V6 i bought a new battery still nothing the raideo comes on i got lights
oil pan has fuel in it and taking the fuel from pcv
Oil was changed out
What's the location of your shop?
I’m in southeast texas
Wish you were here in Chicago il brother.
I think hooking up the ground made the camero electric. You might be onto something with the way gas prices are lol
Russell you know what 😮 I think I did buahahahahaha thanks for watching bud. Hope you stick in for newer videos coming up
@@OzMechanics dude I really enjoyed watching you troubleshoot that, great job 🤘🏻
OZ the link to the tool does not work brother!
I’ll fix it up tomorrow morning
Where you from ?
well then there fuel in the vacuum it must be a fuel regulator leak in the hose a vacuum
Fuel regulator was changed out by a previous shop
Where to you live ?
Wow how crazy is that??
Crazy. Part 2 gets way crazier
It's a shame that your scanner glass screen broke. It breaks my heart to see that, great video otherwise. Grounds, fuses and battery terminals and relays first.
Its not the actual screen, it’s the screen protector.
When will you upload part 2
Im actually working on it as we speak
Oooh coool thanks for replying oz
just look at the video again and fuel pressure gauge draining in the air filter
I wish it was that easy. Lol will show the repair in the next video. This will blow your mind 🤯
haha! @Around 11:25

LOL WTH this car runs on air lol talk about the new 2022 HYBRID lol
Make some guesses on how it’s running
