Engine failure and fume
Chevrolet Camaro 1995 100000 miles
The engine starts but there is too much fuel moving to the cylinders, and it is fuming way too much, black fume suffocating the engine. I've changed the refrigerant sensor, it worked properly for an hour and the problem returned. I have then installed the original one, it worked fine for a while and failed once more. When it fails, the rpm tachometer drives crazy.

You need to replace your Camaro's distributor; if it is from the 3rd or 4th generation of this model, it is an agency failure. When you have reached 75000 miles travelled, you will need to change the distributor, and I recommend you a MSD 8381, I now have one of those and it the car is working much better than before.

Check the MAF or MAP sensor, which is in charge of mixing the air with the fuel. When this sensor fails, black fume is released because of the raw fuel.

CommentTach and temp gauge way off
Chevrolet Camaro 1988 IROCZ 160000 miles
At 1000 rpms it goes to over 7000 rpm,
Temp gauge passes the top while driving and sticks. Car also dies when stopping ( possible map sensor bad). Code 34 getting part tomorrow. Checked grounds look good.
