Default Fuel Pump Inertia Switch

Is there one a 98 Camaro. I've searched google but it seems to be a debate on whether or not GM used these at all. Thanks

That would be a redundant safety feature anyway, because the fuel pump power supply is controlled by the oil pressure switch once the engine is running. In a crash, the engine generally kills, dropping the oil pressure down to zero, and shuts off the fuel pump.

Thanks guys. I found the problem. I bought the car after it had been wrecked and the fuel pump would not turn on. The covers under the hood for the fuses and relays were missing. I figured it out. My a/c and fuel pump relays were also missing. Put one in and it fired right up. Its a 43k 98 and has sat for 4 yrs but doesnt smoke or tick. Got lucky there, but the clutch disc was stuck to the flywheel. Its free now but it chatters like hell. Ah well you win some and lose some.
