I also forgot with that Camaro, by 2015, I was getting a stall when hot and would not restart until cool. This time, I tried the computer and no fix. It had spark so I tried the MAF and nothing. Fuel pressure was good but gas tank was ancient so I did the pump and the tank. Solved the problem. Bottom line: cars are a pain the ***!

yes the grounds are all clean, weather hasn't been warm enough for me to test it out again. Engine temp. reads 198-199 F and all is good so far.
I'll have to wait until weather warms up more so engine temp. gets hotter. BTW....did I mention that I don't get any error codes when i have the problem?

That doesn't surprise me. Most times these types of issues do not code.

ok well today I replaced the MAP sensor which when I removed it was in 2 pieces, and replaced the PCV valve while i was at it. Took it out
for a drive and when the temperature reached 203-204 F it bucked once but didn't stall.
Still no check engine light and I still don't know if its fixed. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Let'* see what it does. Map sensors don't fail often but could be.

I agree but I will know more in a few weeks when the weather gets hotter. Do you think if i use some thermal paste on the ICM will help??

It may cause it to get hotter.
