WOW!!! The problems just don't stop!!!

I drove the camaro out to eat, then to a Home Depot. I got out of the Home Depot and it starts and runs all crappy, then it dies. I start it again, and it does the same thing. So, I'm like WTF?!?!? Then, I get my Auto X Ray and see the O2 sensor isn't ready. So, I've gotta replace that tomorrow. Then I notice the Fuel Pump isn't making any noise. So, tomorrow I gotta put the pressure gauge on it and see if it's pumping. Are they more or less of a PITA to change??? I've never replaced one, so I wouldn't know.

O2 sensor can be a real PITA b/c it's often rusted. I'd borrow or buy the special socket that it offered to install/remove them.

Fuel pump is also a PITA. It entails disconnecting the fuel lines and obviously dropping the tank.

None of it is hard, just slow. Hope you enjoy lying on your back!

Well, I fixxed it!

I looked at it today and saw the connector on the harness was broken. So I cut it off and replaced it with an extra one I had from my 86 Z28. It started right up. I thought it was supposed to have a default mode in case it broke? I guess not.
