rough idle...

[Camaro98 JL]

When the car is idling it's a little rough and the rpm needle is a little below 1 thousand rpms would seafoam clear that up? and give it a smoother idle? has anyone had this probelm and fixed it with seafoam?
Thanks

Re: rough idle...

seafoam may do it

did you just buy a camaro, or have you had one for a long time?

all of these threads you are making are pretty common with the 3.8L engine

sometimes my car shakes like it is over cammed

There was a thread about this a while back, couldn't find it on search. Basically it was that if you replace the IAC adn TPS the problem is usually fixed. Someone feel free to correct if i'm wrong.

Coil packs might need replacing soon, also sometimes a MaF sensor will give you a rough idle you can try cleaning it or replacing it as well. just some ideas.
