 Original owner of 95 camaro 350 engine that did regular mobil 1 oil changes and has 97000 miles. had to replace damaged-worn camshaft and lifters. i have heard that this is a problem that gm is having with other cars also. i had a problem back in the 70's when gm had a recall on soft cam shafts and this looks like the same problem that i just had fixed on this 1995.

 On august 5th i purchased this vehicle, on 8/8/2000 i took it to bp gas station because the abs light was staying on, it cost me 180.30 at that time to fix the problem i thought, 3 days after that the abs light came back on, i took it back to bp and then was told the whole brake system needed to be replaced, i went back to valu mart did some complaining and since i only had the car a week they supposinly replaced the system but would not reimburse for what i had already spent, so far the abs light has not come back on. it is the check engine light that keeps coming on, it cost me 430.00 for valu mart to replace the cylnoids, although only the number one cylinoide was bad all three had to be replaced because all three are one part, this is two weeks after i bought the car. the check engine light still comes on, i took it back down to valu mart and was told that the memory had not been erased that is why the light kept coming on, so they reset the memory, but that did not work, so i took it back to them and they put it back on the machine to find out they had gotten a bad part so they replaced it, but the next day the light came back on i took it back to them now they are telling me they have to take it to the dealer because whatever is wrong with it they (valu mart) do have the proper equipement to detect the problem . here i have paid them 430.00 for something they haven't fixed and its hard telling what the dealer is going to charge and i haven't had the car more than a month yet and haven't put but 700 miles on it and most of that is from it being test driven after each vist to the garage, i know i bought the car used but i think these use car places should at least check these vechiles out a little better before selling them, when you pay 6000.00 for car you at least expect to beable to drive it some before having to start paying for having parts replaced. and come monday 8/18/2000 its hard telling what the dealer will find..
