Re: My Camaro got a problem

You are jumping to conclusions. Yes, it sounds like it Might be a misfire.
The reason for it could be alot of things (ICM, coils, spark plugs, wires, vacc leak, FP (clogged F Filter)) etc.... etc...
Need those code(s) first.

Re: My Camaro got a problem

This is what I said in another thread:

Have you been racing? maybe plug...
Otherwise it could be the coil, ICM, etc..

They go out fast when you race it, especially if they're not good quality plugs, or plugs not designed for your application
I'm glad you got it running right!
Do you know how old the old plugs were?
