1991 Chevrolet Camaro Engine cooling Problems

“5.0liter tbi vehicle stalled in traffic at idle only. I restarted and was able to exit freeway. Idle is good in park or neutral gear, idle is unsteady while in gear and stall occurs within seconds. Hi speed operation was good.after investigating possible causes, I determined main cause to be a rusted distributor magnetic rotor assy. Its spinning vanes had rusted,throwing off big rusty chunks of metal under dist. Cap. In that condition, computer could not keep accurate sense of crankshaft position. I am amazed it would run at all upon discovery of failure. Distributor to be replaced .”

“I turn the key, nothing happens, and when I put in gas, it just runs out the line, and when I went to change my oil, I had no dip stick, and it turned out that it had no engine also, ha ha ha, I felt so dumb, it was a parts car for my drag car, that is so dumb.”

“This problem was covered under a recall but my vehicle was not covered even though it has the exact same problems the recall describes. I have heard from quite a few people who have had this same complaint of not being covered. And yes I have told them to come here to enter the information. The fumes can almost overcome you at times but at times are hardly noticeable but I believe it definitely needs to be corrected anyway. If some vehicles are covered and some aren't but some have the same problem wouldn't that be reason enough to expand the recall. I hope so. …”
