engine problem
HELP! I have a '98 Camaro, V6. I just replaced the spark plugs with Bosch Platinum 4 and took off the throttle body, cleaned it, and replaced the gasket. It ran fine for a while, but now it is running rough off and on and the service engine light came on. Any suggestions?

Re: engine problem
take it to autozone and have it scanned, the service engine light means the computer has detected a problem and stored a code, the scan will pinpoint your problem and you can perform the necessary repair from there.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I thought I'd have to take it to the dealer and spend a fortune to find out what was wrong, but they shouldn't charge too much at Autozone.

Re: engine problem
from what i've heard from the ppl here, autozone doesn't charge anything because you'll most likely buy the new part from them.

i would double check all your connections. make sure that you plugged all your sensors back in, and then check your plug wires. make sure you have the correct wire going to the correct cylinder, its very easy to mix up the wires on the DIS...

Re: engine problem
FYI, I took our 95 V6 to Autozone for code scan and after several scan attempts the AZ counterman could not get a connection to computer. I don't know if it's operator error, but I'm going to another AZ location to see if I get the same result.
