i got a 97 camaro z28, lt1 i was under car and saw a black box about a half inch wide and 2 and a half long with a blinking red light, what is this guys, my car runs good in the driveway but when i drive her she dies out on me, could this be something i need to look into

 

forgot to say, this box is mounted on the transmission

 

Blinking red light? Is it wired to anything?

POPO8, it is wired in to something, i will have to go back under it and try to find out where the wires go, it just seems funny that the engine will start up and run, can cut it off and back on, but it always stalls out on me when i drive her and was just wondering it this had anything to do with it

 

Does your car have a manual or automatic trans?

You've got to add a "SIGNATURE".

 

automatic

 

Let us know what it is wired to.

Is there any chance u are financing the car currently from a buy here pay here place?

Lol.

it is wired into the wiring harness for the transmission, it's mounted at the tell section of the trans, hanging there by wire tie, and the other set of wires coming out of the harness is going to the speed sensor

 

guess everyone is justas stumped as i am

 

A pic would really help out. I'm a tech, and we take off all kinds of alarms, remote starts, and stuff like that, all the time. Could be something related to one of those things.

 

i got her back up on jack stands again, i unpluged that box about 5 days ago and she ran great for 4 days and then the problem came back, noticed that i have an oil leak around the damper pulley so i'm pulling it all apart again, i will craw under her and take a picture for you, just got to figure out how to put it on here, lol, thanks for the reply back
