Does it do this if the car is put into gear and the AC is off?

Re: 92 camaro problem

Is it a sudden shutoff? or a sputtering shutoff?

You may need to clean and reset the IAC valve.

Re: 92 camaro problem

BTW your 10 to 15 min shutoff may be another issue.
Can you rev the car a little and turn the ac on? Does it die then?

Re: 92 camaro problem

The check engine light could be a EGR Problem. Does it come on when your driving?

You should first try and clean and reset your IAC valve.

Your car may have more than one issues.

Do that first and get back to us. If you search there are a few posts on how to remove and clean the IAC valve. Also there are some posts on how to reset the ECM sided of the iac.

TPS sensor would have nothing to do with Idle problems.

Also, im not knocking you, but can you use a some better english. The N's were confusing me to thinking you were referring to Neutral AKA "N"

Re: 92 camaro problem

That engine light comming on and going off 9 times out of 10 is the EGR system, Alot of us have this problem and just ignore it as 10 times out of 10 it is a ghost code. Well ghost enough to ignore.

Cause so far with the accelerator moved a little higher...deleted the problem ac works it doesn't die or anything...and another question is on these cars is it normal to jump when switching in gear mostly drive and so with the EGR should I just clean it or get a new one? Sorry I'm new to the camaro scene and all these problems

Re: 92 camaro problem

OK definately sound like a IAC problem. DO a search on "IAC reset" and also "IAC cleaning" (you could also use idle air control instead of IAC).

Clean and reset it. Then disconn the negative batt terminal for about 1 min. It will reset your pcm. Then reconnect and start it. It may stall out 1 or 2 times. Press down on the gas pedel a little to keep it alive if its doing that until the computer learns the idle. Bout 30 seconds to a minuet or 2.

Re: 92 camaro problem

Check your trans fluid level. Start the car let it warm up. (or rev it to about 1000 rpms to keep it alive) then with the car runnning pull the trans dipstick out, check the level at the hot mark. Should be somewhere in the cross hash area. (little x's)

You probably have a bad motor mount if it jumps or clunks when you shift into gear. Youll hear the thud in the trans tunnel and on the floor.

IF NOT you may have a bad accumulator spring inside the trans. Not newbie stuff to be dealing with.
