well heres what i got. a 94 camaro, 3.4L 70k miles. just paid it off the day i got this problem...talk about luck.
car died at a light...restarted car, check gauges came on, no oil pressure at idle.... had to crank about 4x longer to get it started, seems harder to turn over. pulled over...checked oil level, it was fine. cranked for about 20 seconds till it started. had no oil pressure at idle still so i kept it above idle for the trip home.
the motor has a knocking noise to it on the right hand side of the motor when u accelerate in mid rpm range whether the motor is under load or not. car is about 1/3 as fast as it was.
i thought well maybe an egr valve caused the chamber to get hot, but i started it cold the next day and same thing. no power and knocking. could spark problems cause a knocking sound? however oil pressure is awesome when i restarted it.
my next guess well maybe a plugged converter? but would this cause a knocking sound? i guess if maybe it caused a leak or something near the manifold idk.
this summer though the car always seemed to have a real light hesitation under acceleration throughout the powerband. it always ran good for the first couple minutes till it warmed up though, then it seemed maybe 15 horse slower and then u could real faintly feel it stumbling just a hair while accelerating almost like what it would feel like when the a/c pump kicks in and out. very similiar to that feeling.
it also every now and then wouldnt rev totally to redline...it'd cut out about 1k sooner other times it'd redline no prob.
what do you all think is going on here?
