Please Help

I have a 94 V6 camaro. My car dies when Idle. It will start back up. Also when I am driving at 45-50 mph the rpms drop to 1 or sometimes 2 and gets stuck there you have to let off the gas and press the gas again to move the rpms while driving then it will drop back down and get stuck quick. What can this problem be.. Can someone please help.

Thanks

Herb

you might have a problem with your tranny. how long has this been going on?

Hsmith117 · #3 10-13-2004, 10:54 AM

a week. Why do you think its the transmission going out..

I don't think the tranny will make it die in idle...
Look for some vacuum leaks first

No Service engine light? If there is no ses light it may be fuel related.

Take it to checkers they can scan it for free. Sounds like it may be running in limp home mode.

im in Iowa and we do not have a checkers but I took it to Autozone and the dude seem like he didnt know what he was doing and said with my yr of car he could not scan it.. Something does sound right there does it.

* does not sound right is what I meant

Might have a idle control valve in the tranny that may be screwing up , Mine holds at about 4k sometimes and won't do anything until I let off and remash.

Had mine looked at and it needs replacement. But I have a 92 so yours will probably more than mine will be but I got estimated at 35 dollars for the labor if I get the part myself.

What about the fuel filter?? They do wierd things sometimes.

Hsmith117 · #14 10-13-2004, 05:34 PM

i got the cat fixed.. the car does not cut off anymore.. but the rpms still fall when at 45mphs.. the check engine light went off.. I dont know what to say about this car.
