Re: what is this wire under intake?????

dont know where you are and if its a maf or map system but the egr is federal mandated - you need to make sure it works if you operate on the street.
it tells the computer some important things to get the best performance out of your camaro.
you can get an aftermarket egr here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AIT&viewitem=
there are probably other places i just happen to have that one up.

Have you pulled the code for the check engine light? Is it 32 for the EGR system or something else? That would tell you a little bit about what's wrong.
