Friend bought a 93 camaro and it won’t go over 75 mph. what could be the problem

Also the tach doesn’t work. How can we fix that?

The dash lights don’t work. But the needles light up

 

Because it's an LT1...lol j/k. Something has to be wrong because there weren't any cars with limiters less than 108mph if I remember directly.

 

That car has problems.

 

That car definitely has some major problems!

 

i'll give ya 300 bucks cash for it

 

is it redlining at 75? (does the engine sound like its going to explode?) might be your trans not shifting right.

 

Are you sure its in D.

 

I'll give u 350...

 

Check your coils if they are weak, start testing everything in the ignition system and fuel pressure.

For the tach problem start by checking fuses. Its possible could be a bad cluster, if you can get a snapon scanner or Tech 2 and do a gauge sweep.

 

^^ i agree with LT1... check your fuel and ignition first

 

also it might have a really effed up tune. I have limited the top speed on my 94 to a low speed like that when i am loaning it to people that i want to make sure dont beat on it.

 

^^ I was thinking the same, maybe the po forgot to change it back

 

Ugh it's a v6

 

This was my first thought when I read the tile of the thread.

 

More likely your catalytic converter is clogged to hell.

 

^^^^^^^^^ I was thinking the same thing

 

Of everything ive seen on here, this problem tops the cake. I dont know where to even tell you to start...is it powerful up until 75? When i say that i mean any hesitations, backfiring, etc

 

haha ill try and be more positive then you guys have been when i tell the kid his cars messed up .

it drives perfectly up to 75.

its a 93 with a 6 speed. so yes it's in drive lol

 

Not enough information. What exactly does it do at 75? Have you tried different gears?

With no tach, are you sure you're not hitting the rev limiter? Or maybe if the tach isnt getting signal the rev limiter is messed up as well.

 

Did the guy who sold it forget to tell you about the MSD 6AL rev limiter?
