Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Under your hood you should have a VECI label which gives you a vacuum diagram. If not, you could buy a service manual from a company like Haynes or order an All-Data DIY (do it yourself) subscription for fairly cheap.

Finding replacement parts will be difficult to say the least on a ’92. You will probably have to find salvage parts depending on what they are. An experienced technician might be able to make it run better. However, those sound like emissions part which should not be modified.

If you need assistance, a certified mobile mechanic from YourMechanic can inspect your vehicle’s issues at your home or office.

Engine: V-8, 5.0 liters, 16 valves, fuel-injected, 230 horsepower, 300 foot-pounds of torque. Mileage: 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway.
All of the Camaro`s engines are capable and deliver brisk acceleration. The four-cylinder and V6 are stout but a little demure compared to the V8s, which rocket the car from a stop with urgency and a much more raucous soundtrack.
6.2-liter LT4 Supercharged V8 – This is the most powerful engine option and is only available in the new 2022 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. It sends a mind-blowing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.
6.2L LT1 V8 ENGINE.
LT1. LT1 is the first trim level to include a V-8 engine as standard. It boasts a 6.2-liter V-8 unit rated at 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. This engine works with either a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS comes with a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 455 HP and 455 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.9 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 190 mph.
The Camaro IROC-Z Is A Proper Racecar

In its debut year it offered the option of a “Tuned Port Injected” 5.0-liter V8 with 215 hp. This is a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and offered both automatic and manual transmission options, depending on the engine choice.

The best years of the Chevrolet Camaro are 2016-2021 and 2013-2015. The years you should absolutely avoid are 2001-2002 and 2010-2012. Most issues are related to a higher instance of engine and transmission repairs costing more than $500.
The most efficient model is the Amarok Core manual with its 2.0-litre single turbo, four-cylinder diesel engine using 7.1 litres per 100km on the combined cycle. The least efficient model is the Aventura TSI with its single turbo 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with its 9.9 litres per 100km claim.
The most efficient Chevrolet Camaros are the automatic ones with a 2.0 liter, 4 cylinder engine, and they can get a combined mpg of 25, with 22mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. These fuel-efficient Camaros were built from 2017-2022, and all of them run on premium gasoline.
An eight-cylinder engine, the V8, is common in pickup trucks, SUVs and sportscars, because these engines create a lot of horsepower and torque and are better suited to tow or haul. It usually has between four and six litres of displacement, depending on the size of the eight cylinders within.
First Generation – 1967-69

Higher-performing models were available with a smorgasbord of V-8 engines, ranging from 200 horsepower in the 307-cubic-inch Small Block to the 375-horsepower 396 Big Block. Sixty-nine special-option COPO Camaros were built with 427-cubic-inch engines.

2022 Chevrolet Camaro LT1

The 2022 Chevrolet Camaro LT1 is the cheapest muscle car with a V8 on our list. The 2022 Camaro LT1 starts at $34,000 and is available for both lease and finance.

The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro starts at $25,800 for the base 1LS Coupe model. The convertible starts at $32,300. The most affordable V8 Camaro is the LT1, which starts at $35,800, while the SS model starts at $39,300. The supercharged Camaro ZL1 starts at $66,700.
Mustang, Challenger, Camaro: The Holy Trinity of Modern Muscle Cars. The Ford Mustang, the Dodge Challenger, and the Chevrolet Camaro represent the modern versions of three golden-era muscle-car performers with roots dating back to the 1960s.
V8s are faster than V6 engines. V6 engines in production cars are a bit slower compared to V8, V10, and V12s. However, not all V8s are faster than V6 engines. There are some V8 engines that take longer to reach 60mph than a V6.
The fastest V8 car in the world is the Ariel Atom 500 V8. Even though it has the least amount of power compared to every other car on this list, it does 0-62 mph in less than 2.3 seconds and has a top speed of 170 mph.
The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Is `World`s Fastest, Most Powerful Muscle Car` The 1,025-horsepower, HEMI V8-powered hellion is being billed as the “quickest, fastest and most powerful muscle car in the world.”
2022 Chevy Camaro LT1

The Camaro LT1 raises the standard of refinement and power in the Camaro trim lineup with a 6.2L V8 engine producing 455 HP, along with bold styling.

The Z/28 performance package was designed (with further modifications) to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am Series. It included a solid-lifter 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8, 4-speed transmission, power disc brakes, and two wide “skunk” stripes down the hood and trunk lid.
Still, RepairPal has collected data to show the three most common Chevy Camaro problems are: The car won`t start because of the anti-theft system that uses a raised-chip key – reported by 93 owners. Power window motors may fail from overheating – reported by 67 owners.
Despite being slightly narrower and riding on a shorter wheelbase than the Camaro, the Mustang still provides more front-seat leg, hip, and shoulder room. The Mustang also wins in cargo capacity, providing around 14 cu. -ft. of trunk space compared with the Camaro`s paltry 9 cu.
Fact number 1: Did you know that the term Camaro came from the French word camarade, meaning friend/pal? (Now you do) The name suggests the camaraderie of good friends as a personal car should be to its owner. Fact number 2: The Camaro was created with the entire purpose to leave the Mustang in the dust.
1988-1992 Camaro 1LE

The best of the breed was the racing-ready Camaro Z28 1LE, offered from 1988 to 1992. Available with either a 305-cubic-inch (5.0L) or 350-cubic-inch (5.7L) V-8, it also incorporated stiffer dampers, a baffled fuel tank, an oil cooler, and an aluminum driveshaft.

08′ Ford Fusion shifter stuck in park, flashing check engine light, sounds like air bubble in engine or sputtering when given gas
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. You are likely dealing with multiple problems at once, and only further testing will tell. The first step, due to the check engine light, is to scan the vehicle for diagnostic codes. Use these codes to help direct you towards the issues, focusing on the shifting problem first, unless the codes bring up something more critical. With they being said, the shifting issue is likely a brake light switch failure. The switch doesn’t allow your vehicle to leave park unless the brakes are applied to stop the vehicle from rolling on its own. For more help with testing, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.

Engine malfunction light, reduced engine power, engine powered down
ANSWER : Hi there. There are a lot of things that can cause this on your 2012 BMW M5. I usually start by scanning the computer for codes to see what comes up. If there are not codes then I load test the alternator and the battery to see if they are failing. Low voltage in the electrical system will cause this. If that is fine, then it is usually caused by a failing throttle body. I have seen a lot of these fail due to the motors in them hanging up. If the problem is only happening intermittently, this can make the issue hard to duplicate, but you can still have tests done on the car. If you are going to have this fixed, consider YourMechanic, as a certified mechanic can come to your home or office to test the vehicle and diagnose the Engine Malfunction Light.

Air conditioning is blowing hot air – car stalls when A/C is on
ANSWER : In order to diagnose all the different problems you have, I having the A/C pressures checked to see if the system is low on refrigerant from a leaking compressor or another component. The rough idle may be due to a dirty throttle body and idle control system. If you would like to have this checked for you, a certified professional from YourMechanic can come to your car’s location to inspect the A/C and rough idle in order to proceed with the proper repairs.

car runs great when engine is cold but dies when engine is warm
ANSWER : This sounds like there is a problem with the MAF (mass airflow) sensor. When your vehicle is cold, the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is in what is known as open loop. Open loop is a preprogrammed program put in place for warm up. Closed loop is when the PCM begins using the sensors to adjust fuel ratio. The primary sensor the PCM uses to make decisions is the MAF. I’m leaning toward three possible problems here. The MAF may have been damaged during cleaning, the connector may have a bent pin from disconnecting and reconnecting its connector or the boot that connects the MAF to the throttle body has developed an air leak.

Before condemning the MAF, make sure there isn’t any unmetered air entering the motor after the MAF. This will confuse the PCM and things just won’t work correctly. Unmetered air is what we call it when there is a leak between the MAF and the throttle body.

Of course, make sure the MAF has been plugged in. If it is, disconnect the connector and inspect the pins. It is fairly common for the small electrical pins in all sensors to get bent over when reconnecting their connector.

It is very easy to damage sensors in the area of the throttle body when cleaning it. Carburetor cleaner can damage sensors. The one I am particularly worried about is the IAC valve. These can stick and cause many different idle control issues.

If this isn’t of any help to you, I recommend having a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic, diagnose your stalling condition for an accurate repair.

Good luck!

Hot air mixed with cold blows from air conditioning
ANSWER : Hey there. You will most likely have to have a mechanic bypass the heater coolant lines to have this resolved. Your A/C may not be controlling the air flow inside the evaporator correctly out of the vents and may be the blend door actuator stuck in the heat position. Have the AC system diagnosed first before bypassing the heater.

Intake air flow leaking. What makes this happen?
ANSWER : Hi there. When having the code P0171, the fuel system is too lean. This could be the fuel pump is not working, the fuel filter is dirty or plugged, or the injectors are plugged or not working properly. Check the fuel system and make sure that the fuel system is having a pressure of 35 psi or higher. Also, check the spark plugs and look for any burn marks. This would indicate that the spark is hotter than normal and the fuel system needs cleaned or repaired.

For the intake air flow leak, check the intake for any vacuum leaks on both sides of the throttle. Check all of the hoses from the air cleaner box to the throttle and check the manifold and all vacuum line including the brake booster line for any leaks. Put a vacuum hose on the engine and see what the engine vacuum is at idle. The vacuum should be 17 hg to 22 hg on the gauge. If there is a vacuum less that that, then there is a leak. If you need further assistance with your fuel system and a vacuum leak, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

Engine seized…rods shot out both sides of engine block.
ANSWER : Hello. To answer your question, yes, the lack of an air filter can cause catastrophic engine damage. Over time, the debris will build up inside of the engine as it mixes with air and other carbon contaminates. Eventually, it will build up so much debris that damage will occur (including damage to the mass air flow sensor). In most cases, the debris will get caught in the valves which will hold them open and can cause a series of running issues as well as the piston hitting the valve. It can also cause enough build up in the cylinder that the piston seizes up, which will cause the engine to throw the rod. There are plenty of reasons for why this would happen. I hope this helps.
