I found what the problem was with my car(87 iroc 305 tpi) and it was the plugs. They were fouled out. So i replaced those with bosch platnium 4 some msd wires and accel distributor cap, and it starts up fine. The problem is that it won't idle at low rpm not even 1000! If i tweak the idle screw up to about 2500 it stays idling but i burn up all my gas, my brakes need to get changed, so when i'm at a stop light she wants to take off. Say i put the idle for park at 1500, she sounds like she choking, put stays idling, and you know when you shift to drive the rpms drop a bit like there suppose to but it just shuts off. Sniff Sniff. but anyways any suggestions?

i had the same problem and it was the computer. i would check for error codes first, and if you don't get any then it's probably the computer. if you do, then replace the sensor that the code refers to.

Is a replacement computer expensive? Where can i look on the web to find 1? I checked autozone.com for a MAS and it's $150. Not to be kissing a$$ or anything but i just wanna thank everyone for there help when i ask questions and what not. You people are like family. I appreciate it. Does anyone live in the boston area, or shit, even massachusetts, it would be cool to meet another camaro owner. There are no maros where i live, NONE!! Sorry for being off topic, but back to topic, how much does the ecm cost?

I live in New Jersey and am often in New York as I lived there most of my life. Only person I know who lives in Mass on this site is Gtstang and he for sure doesn't drive a Camaro. You can get a ECM at www.car-parts.com (http://www.car-parts.com/) , Good Luck
