'95 3.4 camaro dies today

Ok, a buddy of mine has a '95 3.4 litre camaro. It died on the side of the road yesturday (day after his Z28 dies on the side of the road) He said it was driving fine then just died. I scanned his PCM and did not uncover and codes... we tested the fuel preasure and it held at 42 even though it took a few seconds to get there (we replaced the fuel filter to be safe) replaced the coils, plugs, and wires, tested the coil module, and verified that the timing chain was still intact and turning the valve train. The car sounds like it wants to fire but does not. Any ideas on what could cause it to not start?

Re: '95 3.4 camaro dies today

There's 1 Cam position sensor and 2 Crank position sensors that will keep the ICM from working. And unfortuanatley the only thing Chev dealer could tell me was to replace them 1 at a time, so I started with the cheapest one, and of course, it was the last-most expensive one that did it. A crank sensor on the side of the block.

someone else may have other ideas. but that's what happened to me.

what are the part numbers? Do you have instructions on where they are located?

Haynes Manual is what I used. I look to see if I still have the paperwork when I get home from work


sorry, but this is the only one I could find. It's the front crank position sensor, ACDelco part# 10137663. I think it was around $60

Re: '95 3.4 camaro dies today

here is a stupid question...but worth asking, doe she have a security system? I was driving mine once and hit the lil switch with my foot i guess, d*mn car died going down the highway... i spent over 4 hours looking and checking crap over, and that all it was. I had to laugh, get back in it, and drive away.

ditto on the crank position sensor, I had to replace mine last winter, didn't want to start... everything seemed fine, replaced plugs, wires, coils and ignition module (the thing under the coil packs) and it ended up being the crank position sensor.
