Just bought 99 Z28... Need help
Ok here is the deal, I recently bought a 1999 Camaro Z28. The car seems to run good I guess but it has a few problems I need advice on. The security light is on, airbag light is on, she's light came on then burned out and needs replaced, the codes popped for o2 sensors.
I am hoping to clear some of not all the lights and do a tune up to the car because it has 137xxx miles and I don't believe it has ever had a tune up.
This is my first ls1 so any and all advice is welcomed, and if there is anything else I should do please let me know...
Also, I am trying to keep it somewhat low on price as I am only a senior in high school and don't have a ton of money...
Thanks in advance!

What mods does the car have? It could be a lot of things. Does it have airbags in both sides? Does it have front and back O2's? You could block most of the codes and lights with a tune, but you should figure out why the lights are on first. I don't think you can tune out the airbag light either, but you can put a resistor across the connector that shuts it off (if the airbags are gone).

The car has zero mods (yet) lol I will have to check on the o2s like I said I just got it like 2 days ago. How would I go about checking if it has air bags? This is my daily driver also so I want to make sure it is safe. And as for the tune, about how much would that run possibly

Does the car still have the cats? Is the car suffering performance wise those sensors are just for emissions and don't affect the performance just so you know. Check for the connections to make sure they are making good contact and the wires to see if any are burned or cut. A mail order tune would run about $200.
