Congrats and best wishes to you and your wife Tyler.
Congrats Tyler, hope all is well!
How much do you want for the Camaro?
pull back the rear carpet, and slowly cut a hole in the sheet metal, that way you can get the pump from above.
Lt1 camaro has 275 or 304hp?
Cringing as you are turning that starter motor over. Could really see the solder melting or sodder as you Americans call it.
Why does every LVworld talk like William shatner. It’s annoying as fuck
With tires over 10 years old I can only think of Paul Walker, 9 year old tires on a Porsche. The tires will round out with driving, doing burnouts will only wear flats on them. Personally I'd replace the tires first.
these fuel pumps rely on the fuel to cool them, constantly driving on empty burns them out eventually. Check the throttle body, could be dirty enough to prevent air from getting in, just spray with cleaner and wipe. Something that simple with such a tight tolerance will prevent starting. At the end of the video says it's injectors, never use gas with Ethanol, it really gums up everything.
80,000 miles is Nothing for a car of that age. Starting a car that sat requires pumping the gas pedal, something younger people are oblivious to. I had a 53 Caddy hadn't ran in who knows how long, just added gas, do dropping gas tanks. Additives can eat up the gummy stuff and save on labor. I'd try a $5 bottle first before going deeper, remember KISS, keep it simple stupid. Better to have just replaced the fuel filter and tried it after a can of cleaner.Check the fuel pump fuze?
I love my 2002 Camaro SS, the LS1 engine really makes it go.
Guys is there no access panel under the back seat?
I'm amazed that you aren't kissing the ass of cars and bids
This channel is so much entertainment 😂 just hilarious
Dang that is beautiful! In my Camaro's I've ownedI cut the trap door in the trunk trust me it is a must do if you own one of these and the fuel pump fails saves a ton of money and labor.
24:46 si quema cuhh!😆
Only watching you how long you keep pushing the starter motor telling me how much you and your friend understand from cars.... unbelievable ... And this glasses guy he needs to change them ... he cut the exhaust for this really no way so many joint sections are visible on the video 2 nuts a few inches from where he makes the non-reasonable cut....
I fell in love with these when GM decided to sell these, the Cadillac STS and the blazer in selected vauxhall dealers in the UK. My dad bought an STS because kids etc but these things in the showroom just looked incredible alongside the boring rubbish we got here.
.....why did you cut the exhaust when there were compression clamps....?
6:56 he went to go push the clutch in to start the car and realized it was an automatic
most of us f body owners cut a panel out from the trunk and fabricate a door for east fuel pump access
watch out for panhard bars lol
i just got a 97 z28 with 90k miles im the second owner i stole it for $3500
First of all y’all messed up initially by cutting the exhaust and not dropping the rear end. An easier route is from the top and cutting through the trap door. Secondly that $1000 bill was because he didn’t know what he was doing and lastly good 🍩 doughnuts. Y’all tap in for all your LS n LT needs I’m the LS swap master on the West Coast hello💪🏾🤧
It’s a really nice car for a barn find
Horsepower is 275 stock not 285 the ss would have been 290
Here is cold start of my LS1 in Country Georgia: lvworld.info/face/video/bKzKeIavibSqcLY
1969 ford f300 or f350 flat bed 7.3 powerstroke swap 5 speed 4x4
ive always known those tips to be called bow tie tips not sure if thats correct or not but thats what everyone in my area calls them, i have a 95 trans am that my dad got me while i was in high school an its sitting with around the same millage as this car but it had a accident an it doesnt get stored in a garage. it was fixed back mechanically an drives fine but it needs paint now from all the yrs an to take care of the accident that it had. but i love the car. i'll never part with it cause of all the nostalgia it gives me. i always wanted the ss camaro , firehawk and a mustang cobra. i have a sn95 cobra now, still got my old trans am and ive had a couple z28s an i still got some time to get a ss but my trans am will never be replaced.
I've never worked in the shop that I didn't demand a CO2 fire extinguisher on my first day!
love to si a cool opel gt 1900 whit V8 LS1 LS3 enginEN swap ;) ;) love opel gt. from norway, LOVE YOUR COOL CARS
Trying to crank it over for so damn ling will wear that motor right out
Gotta say, I love that drumbeat sound it made while you cranked it the first time! (BTW, sometimes I have a difficult time remembering whether I'm watching a Hoovies Garage or a Car Wizard video. :) )
Funny what you dig up when you go searching an auto recycling yard for BMW parts... :)
Shit rolls down hill as they say. 😏
Wizard is closer to my age than I realized! He was only a freshman in high school when this Camero came out. Also, this car is a bit less nice than they first thought with all those mods. The welded-in frame rail stiffeners especially would be difficult to cleanly reverse.
I love how calm the car wizard.. was.. over a fire.. um..
Hahahaha this guy is a real character. Entertaining and knowledgeable. Subscribed!
Buy the Wizard a headlamp flashlight for Christ sake!!
I have a 1994 Z/28 with a 6 speed with only 72,028 miles..how the hell did the drivers seat not fall apart on the upper part? They must not have put on their seat belt when driving is all I can think how the seat edge isn't trashed.
It's really really stupid to be revving this thing up like that. Oil,hoses and belts could all let go you you would be stuffed.
Trap door mod the fuel pump and never look back
The toast literally drag because waiter expectedly burn save a unkempt south america. old, delicious vibraphone
I have to say it: This mechanic doesn't seem to know what he is doing, he is basically guessing and adding up the labor cost. Too expensive.
There is no hatch under the carpet to get to fuel pump??
Why did it catch fire?
its been sitting for 10 years lol give it hell...
i don't know how the hell i got here
What is that intro song? Ive heard it everywhere and cant find it
I want it.. I really want it. Sell it to me....
Its easier to take the back seat out and cut an access hole for the fuel pump.
Gotta change the Fuel filter too!!!!!
Hoovie, I have noticed you guys do not wear Safety Glasses when working on your cars... I can tell you it is not fun to get either chemicals or pieces of metal/rust in your eye. Please find some comfortable safety glasses and wear them.
What square puts on a seat belt to take a ride around the block LOL
Oh how I would love to have this car!
Does anyone else enjoy the way he says wizard 🧙♀️
ummm if you were just going to change the pump why not just cut a access hole from the trunk up top? Me and a friend took turns with a hatchet in the junk yard once to access one in a similar spot. With a shop and the correct tools making a access patch panel would be simple.
It ain't over till something is burning. 🔥🔥🔥
The wizard? More like Fire Marshall Bill.
GM should have put an access door on all their models for easy removal. But they couldn't even be bothered to upgrade a 25 cent part to fix an ignition switch that killed many women who used bowling balls for key chains.
🏎🏎🏎
I had this car mechanically it was a piece of shit the 3.8 V6 way better mechanically, although lt1 is a good engine working in the engine bay is a bitch for a do it yourselfer after 75k miles they go fast down the toilet
great video really fun! thanks so much
Bad mechanic: You need 8 new injectors. Wizard: I'll fix your 8 injectors myself. It's little tricks like this that give me lots of respect for the Wizard. Keep it up!
Badass!☠️🎸🔥🤘🏻
Trap door mod lol
go to visegrip garage and watch him take a care that hasn't run for 29 years stored outside in a field and drive it home 600 miles
I had a '00 and always feared the fuel pump failing. It never did thankfully
I have a 93 z28. Looks to be the same options but mine’s a darker red. I’ve had it 12 years now. Bought it with 128,000 miles on it and now it has 177,000 on it (it was never my only car). A couple of optisparks (needed one when I got it, replacement MSD one cracked, back to a factory replacement one), 2 exhaust systems, front lower control arms, 2 sets of tires (first set was used), front pump on the trans, 2 rear shocks, and 1 fuel pump (trap door mod). Need to fix a leaky trans line and a leaky rear main seal and it needs a paint job bad.
What pain in the anus
Sounds like typical Chevy owner music, although I'm a bit surprised there wasn't any Nsync or Backstreet Boys in it.
I killed my opti-spark 95 Z28 w/ one engine clean. It never ran the same again. I sold it shortly after.
That car is possessed
are you guys newbies or what ?! a car that sat for 10 years, before you dare cranking it, you change the Oil and filter, and you drain all the fuel you can and put new Fuel in it. thats the minimum you do. I really find it weird that Car Wizard did not think about that. he should know better.
You should find a old model T or A (barn find ) and test on channel
10 yr old sitting camaro with SQUARE tires. A nice burnout made em ROUND n slick
You should do a older british car like a healey or mga.
For my Fiat Uno 1.4 ie, 1991, I removed the back seat, un-screwed the fuelpump and pulled it out. Imagine how italian engenuity could have saved the car wizard's day?
That car is beautiful.
It is a option to cut a access hole in the floor to get to the fuel pump, then you don’t have to drop the tank.
Oh the joy of 80's/90's camaro/transam tank dropping fun!
Before you go look at one for sale, tell the seller to wash the engine. When you show up, the optispark...will become a willnotspark. ..and you'll get a good price.
here all that would ve cost you less than half of that lol hoovies come down to honduras you will be saving alot of money your self
so you got mi same car i have owned for 20 years i hope you keep it for long time like i have , congrat jost put it in your collection
Should of done the fuel pump. Trap door.
I'd love to get a mustang same year and day or close too it lol it would be my only car ever lol
Add for Fixed don't waste your money the cheapest thing is the sender unit you must pay monthly charge!
Nothing like watching the Wizzard and Hoovie trying to convince each other that "it's not too bad" while the shop floor burns. Tech tip, don't buy a car that has been sitting for 10 years because it looks nice. I've seen corpses that look good but the dude is still dead!!
Hoovie, you should colab with Vice Grip Garage. He's right up your street. Talk about hoopties, he fixes cars that haven't run in 20 years and then drives them 600 miles.
The only problem starting the 4Gen. was that you needed to scoot over out of the way, all the way to your house. The metal brace falling on Wizard's head was your fault.
Hey man I hope you were kidding about crying. Don't be a sissy just fix it.
After 10 minutes in... I will never buy 4rth.. gen camaro
I have never understood purposely destroying a car.
It took all of the wizards strengths 😆😄
It's a GM, being on fire is a normal event.
Be prepared for spiders to Be repelling out of the headliner while driving on the freeway!!
I have always loved Camaro models, all years. You have yourself a nice looking one!
that was the dragons wizard hehe
Ha! It sounded like a “hit-and-miss motor” on the lift! You need to by the Wizard an LED headlamp...enough of the flashlight in the mouth trick.
I think my favorite thing is watching Hoovie and Wizard work on cars TOGETHER! - It's amazing Brotherly, Kansas, Auto YT'ers, LOVE!
i have a 97 z28 30th anniversary edition camaro that has been sitting in a OPEN feild for 10 years, (under the hot sun, and winter cold for 10 YEARS) (43k miles) put a battery in the ol girl, she fired right up first crank, the car is in immaculate condition, i mean absolutely spotless, no pully rust, no rotted lines, interior was perfect, perfect car, no problems, put a fuel pump in her, hit the injectors with a screwdriver, she ran like she was rolling off the assembly line, 2 years later, she’s my every now and then weekend car, it’s sad how many z28s end up like mine and yours, keep restoring m8👍
Im a little confused on why you guys cut that exhaust there was litterally a clamp right next to where u cut and u could of just pulled that apart right there...
