Greetings Scotty!
We love watching your videos & we appreciate your no nonsense style!
I have a 1994 Chevy Camaro 3.4 L V 6, 232,000 miles, automatic that burns so rich if you stand near tailpipe when running the fumes will overwhelm you. It was hooked up to both OBDI & OBDII computers with the only code returning was 'engine misfire'. It got a tuneup but still didn't help.
another important piece of information is that the emissions control system has been removed from the car per the mechanic that put in that engine for me. It is the second engine in that car.
From looking on the Internet, it looks like it could be a number of different sensors that could be causing this problem, including the fuel injection sensor. Which one would you start with first or do you feel is the likely culprit?
Im desperate to know the answer! took it to 2 shops with no luck. Last one charged me $454 to change spark plugs & examine engine!
Thanks

If you can find a mechanic with a Tech2 scanner (GM dealer scan tool at the time) that may shed some light on the problem.

Most of the emissions system is built into the engine and electronics, what exactly was removed? Maybe the catalytic converter? Depending on how bad a hack job was done things could be really messed up on that thing.

We do not recommend the "parts cannon" approach of throwing parts at a problem. More diagnosis is needed.
Regarding your reply on what was removed from the Emissions system: when the mechanic installed the new engine, he said "all that emissions stuff on top- I just took all that stuff off. You don't need it anyway."
I just don't know what to do here...... car is at the shop, has been there for a month or more. I've already paid $454 to have engine checked out.....have to have car towed to and from....just a PAIN IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT! LOL
THANK YOU FOR TAKING A MOMENT TO RESPOND to my inquiry. I do appreciate it so much!
