hey every1, my dad just baught my sister a 96 camaro rs as her first car, she alrdy got into accidents and stuff with it n e ways, its all fixed up now...well this is whats going on...the car is an auto with 113,000 miles on it....when we first got the car it was running on 5 cyl...got it fixed and everything....now it wont take off in 1st gear....it takes off in 2nd...the button to take off in 2nd is off, maybe its shorting or its stuck on that setting? i have no clue, i nvr owned a camaro or worked on one....so n e help would be greatly appreciated...thanx

 

the switch is possibly bad, try replacing that first

 

is there a fuse for it that i can pull? would that work? or what if i just pull the switch out? would that work? or would it still be stuck in gear? would this also cause the check engine light to come on?

 

If your car isn't accelerating at all in 1st gear, it's a transmission problem. If you're talking about the light in the shift indicator, it's very easy to replace. Just pop up that portion of the console, and you'll see the light right under there.
