  • A couple strange problems and questions.

    1997 Camaro 3.8 130k miles

    1. If I pump my brakes while the car is idling it starts chugging,idle goes up and down, and feels like it misfires. Is there any reason why pumping the brakes would cause my car to do this?

    2. There is a clicking/snapping sound that comes from underneath the car when taking off. It can be heard when shifting into low gears like 1st and 2nd along with taking off from the a stop. Sounds like its coming from underneath the middle or back area of the car. The sound seems to be inconsistant and is getting worse over time.

    3. Very hot air seems to be blowing down on my feet when driving. Its almost like the heat is on with the floor heat selected..but its not.

    4. What is the best brand of spark plug wires and coil packs for the 1997 3.8?

    5. Are Monroe shocks any good? I put them on my rear when I did the rear swap. The rearend suspension feels a little weak and sloppy. I need new front shocks and am not sure what to buy.

    I only have a suggestion for your first problem. Check the brake booster line to make sure the hose is secure and not cracked or split.

      2. check your torque arm mount/bushing
      3. blower switch or mode actuator
      4. msd wires and stock coils, gm did it right when they designed the coils
      5. monroe sucks, bilsteins for the back but the fronts arent available anymore or koni adjustable's on all four corners
