  • New Car.. New Problems!?!?!

    ok ok ok... my friends girl just bought a 94 Camaro V-6... BOO!!!! Anyways.. its runing really crappy she asked me to look at it.. when i drove it it ran ok up thru 2500 rpms.. i went to romp on it and it kinda rattled and broke apart really bad... just makin the worst exhasut note ive ever heard... she said it was sitting for a little while.. so i got a bottle of MArvel to put in and clean thnings up well it didnt really help at all... and when it sits in D at idle it will dip down somtimes... almost a studder... Im thinking Fuel filter Clogged.. or spark problem, did a visual on the spark plug wires they seem fine.. o2 sensore look pretty new.. Any Ideas.... Feels almost like spark plug wires are backwards it makes a hole lotta noise but dont go nowhere......Im at a loss for words.i know not to expect what my t/a has but this is pathetic it has no power at all....

    Yeah, the 3.4 wasn't exactly all that strong. Run the car at night, pop the hood and look under and see if you see any flashes. If you do, you've got arcing from the plug wire(s). Check the fuel pressure as well, real simple to do. Pull one of the plugs and see how it looks. How many miles are on it? SES light on?
