Yet Another Problem

[380099Camaro]

Again Im having another problem, I pulled out onto the highway and for the fun of it I floored it and when I shifted my car backfired. I wanted to be sure that I wasnt maybe hearing things so I floored it again when I was at a stop light except this time the car kinda like studdered but when I shifted it didnt backfire. Well Last year around this exact time my MAF like stopped working and I replaced that, and I hope thats not the problem again(cause it feels like the same way it did when the MAF died). But it hasnt thrown any codes at me yet so I guess Im going to have to wait. I just hit 90k miles, and the last time the spark plugs were changed was at 55k miles. Could that be the problem?

Re: Yet Another Problem

Doesnt it throw a code when your spark plugs are acting up

Re: Yet Another Problem

not necessarily, only if you are leaning out (o2) code

Re: Yet Another Problem

or richening out
or misfiring
both could come from plug failure

Re: Yet Another Problem

Ok...Well....this is kinda pissing me off, I went to a local machanic and I was trying to explain to him what was going on and he told me to take him for a ride. Well I punch it and it doesnt hesitate or backfire or nothing, And I rode around like for a good 10 mins and it just wouldnt do anything that it was doing before. So now im really puzzled. Should I go ahead and replace the plugs and wires?

Couldn't hurt...... they are just a PITA to change.
