Most cars have more than (1) O2 sensors these days.  One before the cat -
and one after the cat.  I would imagine your Camaro is like that.  Did you
find out which one was throwing the code?

My Monte Carlo is the same way.  The software I use shows the tests that
are to complete based on the type of vehicle.  The final test that takes
many miles and driving is the "EVAP Test".  The other ones happen
fairly quickly.  Once that last test completes, then it shows "Ready
to be tested" and would pass if there are no codes.

Yes, not bad considering how huge they are.  I was looking at both a 1997
and a 1999 Suburban.  Both show 12/17mpg, which on the highway isn't too
bad.  They are just massive vehicles.

Going to replace the blower motor in the Durango tomorrow morning.  Just
three bolts while laying upside down on my back.  Piece of cake.  :)
