  • Newb

    im new to the forum...kinda i always used the site for info just havent signed up.

    anyways thought i could ask a question see if anyone can help.
    i got a 99 v6 camaro 5 speed. recently it started having a really bad hesitation at random times. sometimes it will do it just sitting idleing then other times when i acclerate. i replaced all the coils and my plugs and wires are less than a year and 12 months old. i just changed out one of my o2 sensors but might have to do the other. im not sure if that is the problem tho. also im pretty sure my neutral safety switch is shot lol

    im not sure if ya changed your wires,,,but should be better if you change them,,,,just get some cheap ones and see if its them,,,if not try into other things like the e.g.r getting stuck or the cat gone wack and if you have a vacuum leak some where.

        Also have your ignition control module tested if you can. My 3.4 was doing the same thing a while back, and when I asked about it I was told that it could be the cause, because it controls your spark throughout all the rpm ranges. It's too bad you don't have a 3.4, I have a spare control module laying around.

          SES or no? If yes, get it scanned and get back with us. How old are your plugs/wires? (you say less than a year and 12 months, which is 2 yrs :P). It's possible they're to blame too. Also check out your MAF sensor; if it's dirty it can cause the car to run rough
