does anyone no what causes my 94 camaro to rough idle? when i stop at red light 4 a long time, my car seems to shake! and it feels like its gunna die. no gauge lights go on to remind me of a serious problem. should i worry about it? ive change the alternator , o2s , plugs and wires, pcv and all fluids seem to be full. i also check for leaks, seem to be find! yeah its a v6 - 3.4 just got to a 100,000 miles

could be a bad injector, or a failing IAC valve, clogged fuel filter, or worse case a bad fuel pump. id do the fuel filter and go from there.

na bro you didnt give bad advise, im glade you wrote back with some info! the IAC was caked with black sh*t , i took it off and sprayed it down with carb cleaner. i also sprayed the housing! it seem to idle a little better. well the car just seems to shake at red light. not that bad though, but enough to pizz me off!!!!

they sell body kits for berettas???????? to be honest, that dont look all that bad, zat got the 305 in it??? im thinking alot of potential there.
oh and if the IAC was caked with black resin, i highly reccomend an induction service, either jackobs or BG depending on where you live and all. i did it to my IROC and it made a major difference, cuz she hadnt had any service in 14 years lol.

how much would an induction service cost? and what will it do? have you ever heard of a cleaner call sea foam green, some one said it cleans out injectors , and some other stuff to help a shaky idle! should i try that? hey, i just bought a haynes repair manual it tells alot of info on my 94 camaro! but i think a found a mistake all ready , should i trust this book? in chapter two theres a diagram of a 3.4l engine cylinder coil terminal locations and i looked under my hood and its a little different; well wires 1, 3, 5 goto the left bank "driver side" and wires 2, 4, 6 goto the right bank (under my hood). in the diagram it looks like 1, 6, 5 goto the right bank and 2, 3, 4 goto the left bank "the driver side" i hope this dont confuse you . i guess you just goto see it. page 2A-1 of the haynes repair manual . anyway from the picture, my wires 3 and 6 are backwards. whos right does anyone no? if mines wrong my car still run pretty good!!! should i change them? will the mess my car up , maybe thats why my run a little shaky!!!

um, i thought your car was running rough???? crossed plug wires would do that. set up your wires the way the maual says, and see if the rough idle goes away.

never heard of the sea foam green stuff, but im not talking about a fuel injector service, im talking induction service, they clean your throttle body, and run a chemical cleaner through your intake to clean the intake manifold of deposits and your valves and combustion chambers. as far as cost, i think we charge an hour and a half labor.

thats the thing the manual says one thing and shows another. shaky and rough idle at red lights or complete stops - it kinda feels like its gunna stall but it dont! but it run fine other wise! i switch 3 , 6 on the coil terminal and it feels the same - so i put it back the way it was.

not to be a kill joy, but your best chance of performance from that 2.8 is to junk it. it aint a honda motor, i wouldnt turbocharge it and NA it aint gonna have a prayer of decent power.
