Allright, I am set on getting a cam, but want to get my car in best shape first. I have had numerous problems with it. It acts up alot. The other day, The ignition would click and the engine would rotate but not start until finaly the battery died and nothing would happen. I waited like 20 minutes and she fired up the first try. It sometimes takes around 6 second to get the engine to start. What am I looking at there? Ignition? I also get horrible gas milage. I replaced the PCV. What else should be done.
I have NGK plugs waiting to go in. I am doing oil change to Mobil 1 (thats whats in it now), what filter do you all use?, I am going to replace the differential oil with Redline (have it too). What else would you recommend replacing to fix her up? I also want to fix the suspension. I get alot of noises from the steering system, like rubbing and squeaks. Also my car makes a great deal of noise over bumps. The exhaust hangers need to be replaced, but what about bushing, how do I take care of those? It also makes a screeching, creaking when you are on a slight downgrade (or going in revese) and use the breaks (when you lift up the break pedal, its like the body is storing all the power that was held back) It does in when manuvering in parking lots (I dont know If I did even a decent job of explaining it, maybe someone knows what I am talking about, lol). Also any additives for fuel, oil, etc. that you all swear by? Sorry this is going on so long, but my AC is messed to. It works fine, but when you turn it to any of the cold (or heat) positions (not the fan) it makes some nasty noises that can be heard from outside(and inside) the car as well as effecting the exhaust. I have a 43KB MP3 of it if someone would host it for me. I dont have any hosting.
Phewwwww. I know some of you have had problems with your car and hopefully someone has had and knows how to fix some of mine. Thanks (if you made it this far [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Edit: Also, I forgot what is a good OBDII scanner? Isnt there one that gives you fuel pressure and stuff?
And, after all that I somehow forgot to mention my car is a 2000 Camaro. No major mods, just intake, exhaust, etc. 50K on the clock.
