Could this be my problem?

Ok I have done some searching and I think I have found out what my problem is. Here is what the car is doing.

1. Fuel pump. I have the same problem as he did. And a new ECM fixed it.
2. The fans won't come on. But I replace the relays and sensor in the passenger head. The fans do work. I'm just not getting power from the dark green/white wire to turn them on. The Haynes book says it gose trough a PCM. Which I am guessing is the ECM.
3. The Tach is at 4500rpm when I am at a ideal. And it only gose up when you smash the go pedal. I heard that the ECM controls that also.

I just want to run it past you electronics gurus before I go buying an exspinseive part I don't need.

Also the hatch motor don't work. That wouldn't happen to be ECM related would it. lol. Thanks in advance for the help! Adam :-)

The In-line fuse that I posted about the other day is only in the firebirds. The fuse for camaro's is located on the fuse panel and is labeled "LID"

I allready checked the fuse box when I was trouble shotting the fans and all fuses are good. The hatch still closes, just have to slam it a little harder. But I am more intrested in the rest of the stuff working right. Let me know if it sounds like I am on the right track. Thanks again. Adam :-)

ive had a simular problem once... the acutal motor assemble had came loose and the motor had shifted down, where you had to push the hatch down to get the motor to engage
