thank you, i loved my z but my dream car turned into a nightmare, from transmission to engine, i just had enough, the guy that i traded with knew everything wrong and he was willing to trade with me, but he didnt tell me everything with the camaro but they are easy fixes

i'll talk to my shop teacher and see what he wants me to do, i have a set of valve cover gasket waiting to go on so when im ready to do that i'll check the cam

My guess is Bright Red, paint code WA8774. Best thing to do though is check your RPO sticker for the paint code. It will either be on the driver's door or in the glovebox.

agree with mcgrrl, 81u should be the production code for bright red.

thanks.

so i hooked up my school's scanner to the camaro to see what was the check engine light was all about, it pulled up 4, 2 i knew about the shift skip delete and egr delete but the ones i didnt know was the O2 sensor on bank 2 isnt working and random misfires, i ended up going out and buying new spark plugs but i read online that sometimes a bad 02 will cause the misfire? is this true?

a failing 02 can do that if let go long enough. are your plugs fouled, if so your 02's are probly fouled as well. if the 02's are old they may just need changed anyways, you can get proper reading that are false from a aging 02 sensor. i will change mine at about 60k.
