  • slow acceleration

    Hi my 97 camaro has piss poor acceleration now and its pissing my off!
    Think plug wires will help? i'm pretty sure its not the spark plugs cuz i just changed them like a month ago. its a A4 btw way too.
    Also on a side note my abs light came on 2 days ago but i notice nothing differnent in my braking. Could it just be a glitch on my computer?
    thx for any input.

    Your brake pads could be getting to the point of needing replaced. My ABS light came on, and that was the reason for it. What type of plugs did you put in?

        Where do you buy your gas?
        I used to stop off at any station I could find and apparently I got some bad gas, now I go to Chevron if at all possible. Just a thought.

            Shell V-power is actually some good gas. I used it the other day, and not like I noticed a power increase but it seemed to run pretty smooth. it says, it has 5 time the cleaning agents that are minimally recommended. So I think I will try to use it once a moth or so. Also, about the ABS light. Look to see if your 3rd brake light is out. For some reason, GM put that in the system, so if your 3rd brake light goes out, then it trips the abs inop light. Go figure. :rolleyes:
