so im on my way home from school. I am sitting at the light when my rmps start going crazy they are going down really low then up really high. it almost feels like the car is trying to jump forward. the light turned green gave it gas and the car was fine. come to the next light nothing its fine. then as im coming off the freeway car does the same thing but this time dies. start her back up drive the rest of the way. i poped the hood and could find any vac leaks so idk whats going on.

Re: my car is acting funny
i had my uncle look at it and he says it the alt. its only giving out 12 amps what do u guys think?Comment

Re: my car is acting funny
i don't think the amp has to do with that.my other car (Honda) did exactly the same thing and the problem was the screw on the manifold that was adjusting the idle.because of that the IACV couldn't "read" the air and the rpms went up and down.after we adjusted the screw at the right place the car runs just fine.i don't know if your car has a screw like that,if not then i guess it has to do with the IACV
(ps:i am not a ricer :rolleyes: but here in Greece is VERY difficult to have the camaro as a daily driven car so i had to get something else for everyday use:))Comment

Re: my car is acting funny
iac= idle air control valve
yours could be crudded up with carbon.
you can clean it with carb cleaner, or just get a new one for around 40$Comment
