All the time my family have owned camaros there has been the same problem. I go to start my car this morning and nothing. This happens every now and then but this time its not starting at all. I dont know what the heck it is but usually my father tells me to clean the chip on the key, but this does not work. I want to ask if mechanics can fix this or the dealerships (ripoff). If i buy a new key, would this solve this. Please help me because I dont know what to do and i cant have this car not running. Thanks

 

Do the contacts on the key appear to be badly worn? If they do, then yes getting a new key would help you. You might also have a problem with contacts inside the lock cylinder being worn.

 

Lots of Camaros have this problem. There are a few posts which detail how to bypass VATS, the easiest being to get an alarm with a remote starter. Replacing the cylinder lock with a dealer part and getting a new key at the same time would be the fix for another few years...

 

Hey thanks a lot guys, if i take a picture would you guys know if its badly worn. It looks it, but i can move the chip back and forth a little.

 

Get a new key, chip isn't supposed to move.

 

Ok i will do that. Arent they like $50. My mom had to get new ones for her 93 Z28. I guess i have to go to a dealership.

 

The one for your car should be something like $25.00. It usually depends on the dealership and the mood they are in each day. The price I quoted is at my dealership as of last week. Actually some locksmiths carry them as well.

 

Aww Man Thanks a wicked lot guys, i thought i was screwed. Guess what i got my car started today so, maybe it is the key!

Haha Trickster "Depends what mood there in" so true. Thanks
