msd plugs and wires!!

You need to determine the cause for each of those codes before doing a "tune up". They indicate problems with parts that might not get changed.

P0100 - MAF circuit static frequency. Often caused in the 97's for some reason, by a broken pink wire to the MAF harness connector. Check the pink wire for 12V, measured to the black/white ground wire.

P0200 - Injector circuit malfuntion. One or more of your injectors is not working. Check for 12V on the pink wire in each injector harness connector. Connector off, check the resistance of the injector. Should be 12-15 ohms. If you pass both those tests, use a 'noid light to verify the PCM is supplying the ground that fires the injector.

P0441 - EVAP vacuum switch low during purge. The vacuum switch is not detecting a vacuum when the EVAP purge solenoid is commanded open.

P0171 - Bank 1 (driver's side) fuel system lean

P0174 - Bank 2 fuel system lean

Replacing the plugs and wires will not solve any of those problems.

MSD "plugs" - when did MSD start making spark plugs? Do you have a link?

Thanks..im not too inclined on these things..i know how to check on the maf but not injectors, and what would cause fuel lean?

Injuneer

What would cause fuel lean?
-Injectors that aren't firing would be one possible cause.
-Low fuel pressure would be another
-MAF sensor that isn't telling the PCM the correct amount of air is entering the engine.

Or it could be a "false" lean condition, caused by:
-faulty O2 sensors or wiring
-exhaust leaks before the O2 sensors
-excessive misfires

My money is on the MAF and the faulty injectors. Get those fixed first, per my suggestions on how to diagnose.

Well took my car to my shop today and looks like all is needed is a tuneup, also im replacin ps pump since it was on its last leg, total price for all.comes to $1100,i just want some advice on is thisa good price or not

Injuneer

How did they propose to get rid of the codes? What parts are included in a "tune up"? Does it include a new cap & rotor for the Opti? ...new O2 sensors? .. all new filters, PCV valve?

hey, listen to the guy, your about to get screwed over, i guarentee this shop is telling u it needs a tune up is because it is a pain/expensive thing to do on camaros and will "solve" your problem for about a month (because there are ways to get around/hide the real issues with a "tune up", trust me.... i used to work for a crook) untill your back with your credit card again...... and besides... im willing to bet 90% of so called mechanics will mis-diaognose an lt1 camaro!!!!

remy2435

hey guys thanks for all the advice....as for the tuneup i knew it was needed anyway, as in the car has 123 k on it.. includes wires,plugs,all filters, pcv valve, cap and rotor, opti and o2 sensors.....now if that doesnt thats one thing, if it doesnt i will be sure to ask u guys for more advice if further is needed...

remy2435

and one more thing, i have been going to this guy for a long time, he is a friend of my dads so im not worried about being screwed...im ok if more is required, but the tuneup was in desperate need as so was the ps pump...

I guess my question is if you already made up your mind as to what you were going to do, why did you even bother posting this? We just wasted a lot of time trying to help someone who apparently didn't want any help.

Oh, well.
