Do I just go to Autozone of somewhere and ask for a 160? Or is it a special one?

Also does it do anything in the computer or something?

 

Autozone has a HYPERTECH THERMOSTAT 160 DEGREE THERMOSTAT for a 1993 CHEVROLET CAMARO

is that what I get?

 

yes, that will work. It should run around $20. Most autoparts places will try to give you the one for a std. SBC and they are only a few dollars but they won't work.

 

Do I just pop it in and thats it? Its a 1993 LT1,, no re-programming?

 

nope you don't need any programming. You might have to bleed the coolant system after your done. Other than that its just a simple thermostat install. I would probably put silicone around the housing though because if it leaks any its all gonna land on the opti.

 

Short procedure.

 

Where is the PCM BAT fuse?

 

Open the driver door, look at the side of dash, removable panel, fuse box...

 

its been a long time since i pulled it but i believe the pcm fuse is in the fuse box on the drivers side under the hood.

 

What does it do when u pull it? and does the ing key deed to be on or off

 

Why are you pulling the PCM fuse if you don't even know what it does?

 

Good ?

I guess it resets the PCM

I'm new at this NEW car stuff the last car I had was a 1968 Impala with a 327,,, before that it was a 1978 Z28 I had for 20 years.

Never owned a car newer than that!!!

They did not have this crap on um!

 

That still doesn't explain why you are pulling the pcm fuse. If you are pulling it for some reason related to the thermostat install. I'll just save you the time. You don't need to pull it.

 

I wonder why my overheat light is coming on at just 190 or so...it shouldnt come on at that temp should it.

What temp sould the light come on at ? And is that set in the PCM?

 

I didn't even know there was an "overheating" light. I guess i've never had that problem. I do know there are 2 temperature sensors on the car maybe one is bad. That might be why your gauge reads fine 190 and the other one thinks the car is getting hot.
