Shaking/Sputtering

[99BlackMaro]

Well, I think my Camaro is nearing some sort of death. :( It feels like the car is going to shut off when it's idling, and during acceleration, the car shudders, and seems like it doesn't want to shift gears. Any ideas? It feels similar to when my MAF blew on my 1989 RS.

Re: Shaking/Sputtering

tap your MAF then and see if anything happens when idling. It might be your MAF again with your 99

Plug wires

Check your coils, plugs and wires. Also, make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks. A vacuum leak will make it want to die when idling among other things while driving.
