...LT1? Ever since I can remember it has always cranked over hard cold or warm engine. But if it sits for a couple days or more it wont even crank over, the battery drained so much. I thought it was the battery, so I unhooked the battery and let it sit and it still did it. I talked to a few people and they think it could be the starter draining it. What do you think?

the camaro is not going to hatch, there is no point in sitting on it for a couple days.

ANd you have replaced the battery?

I would take it to a place to test the starter motor, the starter relay, the battery, and the battery wiring.
Also corrosion at any point will cause problems.

Also, you need to have your alternator and regulator checked to make sure your battery is being properly charged in the first place.

Most good auto parts stores will do these checks, and if not then a sears store might be a good start. You can always decline the work once you find out the problem.

You may have to pay a diagnostic fee, but it would be worth it to isolate the problem once and for all
