    My name is Christopher Lee Hughes but everyone calls me Christopher Lee . Originally I'm from Shreveport,La. But have been living up north here in Tacoma , Wa . For about 25 years . I hiuve always loved camaros and firebirds especially trans-and and mostly 1978-80 TA'
    s and z-28's . What brings me to this very hospitable community is this....about 2 weeks ago a friend of mines brother begged me to buy his 92 camaro . He was supposed to be going to a fairly long inpatient treatment center and wanted to have some $$ in his pocket while he was there . At first I told him I couldn't afford it but the deal was really to good to say no to $500 with only $$ 200 down . Long story short is this I ended up paying the whole $500 before he was scheduled to leave so I let him drive the car until that day and he was to come pick me up on a Saturday and I was to drop him at the treatment center and keep my car . Yes you probably guessed who didn't show up .so by the time I got the car back the ignition had been tapped , one of the t- tops was gone and now even with the right chipped key the car won't run unless I jump the starter and even then it's hard to keep runnig . I can't afford to put more $ into it cause I'm a single father with a 17 year old daughter and rent due today . If I could at least drive it back and forth to my new job it would be great . I heard there was a way to bypass or at least reset the computer but none of manuals I have even scratch the surface of the subject . The Danny thing doesn't even have the stock stereo in it anymore . Any help would be so appreciated .

      Welcome to the site, go to www.shbox.com they have info on how to bypass the vates system. I'm not sure if that works on 3rd gen to but will give you some info. If you don't have complete key you may just have to have 9 keys made that is how many different key chips there are. Home depot makes keys.

      Edit reread your post and sounds more like wiring at ignition screwed up. go to the shbow site and try bypass.
