I just got done changing the plugs and wires on my wife's 94 3.4 camaro and not it is not running right. The idle is very rough, and the exhaust smells like fuel. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Please help me out :(

sounds like you're missing a cylinder or 2. check all your plug connections. Did you gap the plugs right?1994 Camaro 3.4L M5 R.I.P.<br />You know what they say- a small engine means big... errr... e/t\'s<br /><a href=\"http://www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident\" target=\"_blank\">www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident</a><p>replaced with: red 97 A4 vert (my brothers as soon as i find my REAL replacement)<p>soon to come: 1969 RS/SS<p>\"All you need are the esentials: scented candles, massage oil, and Berry White write that down.\" -Van Wilder -
like he said, make sure they are gapped right, make sure all of the wires are all the way one and if it is still doing it check to see if you cracked any of the plugs when you put them in.2001 SOM Camaro SS<p>Direct flo lid---Lakewood LCAs----Edelbrock Torque Arm-----Lous Short Stick---Dynomouth 3\" Exhaust---SLP Center Mount Exhaust---Poly tranny and torque arm mounts.<p>My site....http://community.webshots.com/album/49413018hRfdbPComment

They are gapped the same as the factory plugs. I checked the wires on both ends and everything is on there snug.<a href=\"http://ww.willied.cz28.com\" target=\"_blank\">02 Formula</a>Comment

next thing I'd check is the wires themselves. I fried a wire in half internally the other week and it looked fine to the naked eye (besides that big *** spark when it grounded on my exhaust manifold :D )
Now this is another possiblility and I don't mean to insult your intelligence but you did put the correct plugs to the corresponding cylinders? i'm very careful about that but i could see myself doing it on accident if i was in a hurry/not paying attention...1994 Camaro 3.4L M5 R.I.P.<br />You know what they say- a small engine means big... errr... e/t\'s<br /><a href=\"http://www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident\" target=\"_blank\">www.pbase.com/rrj72/the_accident</a><p>replaced with: red 97 A4 vert (my brothers as soon as i find my REAL replacement)<p>soon to come: 1969 RS/SS<p>\"All you need are the esentials: scented candles, massage oil, and Berry White write that down.\" -Van WilderComment

I did them one at a time, and only had problems on the two back ones on the passenger side. I thought I may have mixed up the two back there so I switched the wires and it ran rougher. Everything is at the right plug. Can someone tell me the cylinder numbers so I can double check. The drivers side front to back, then the passenger side front to back. is it 1-3 on the drivers and 4-6 on the passenger? This is the first time I have had to do plugs. All of my cars have been upgraded to newer ones before I had to change them.<a href=\"http://ww.willied.cz28.com\" target=\"_blank\">02 Formula</a>Comment

I don't know the numbers off the top of my head but hang tight I'll check the Haynes manual. Someone will probably answer this before I get to it anyway though...

I got it working right finally. Two of the wires did get switched by accident. The #3 and #5 were a pain to get to and I pulled them both out at the same time and got the wires mixed up. I tried crossing those two earlier and it still ran rough, but for some reason when I tried it again it started running right. Thanks for the help.<a href=\"http://ww.willied.cz28.com\" target=\"_blank\">02 Formula</a>Comment
