Help. Anyone know whats wrong?

[Jared Shenigo]

Okay I have a 94 camaro 3.4L V6, just yesterday my car is proforming really crappy. It takes for ever to shift over, the back end shakes, the engine will rev loud once i get past 40 mph, the car shakes when sitting still, and i swear i smell gas. Is there anyone tha knows whats wrong? or have any suggestions?

Your car probably knows what's worng, or at least could point you in the right direction via the "check engine light" must be scanned, flash coding won't work.

Welcome to AF, but posting the same the question multiple times can make some of the regualrs a bit restless..

I actually found out the problem, a spark plug wire was actually burned inhalf... so i fixed that after several shocks and it runs brand new

if you have a metal atena on top of your tv, touch the antena and the tv screen at the same time and have someone turn on the tv, you can actuly see the spark by your fingure, it hurts,lol

one time when i was really young, like 1-3yrs old, i stuck a key in an electrical socket. My dad said it sent me all the way to the other end of the hallway.

I think I win...you know those thick red swiss army knives...well on one end there are two small tools that fold out and guess how far apart they are?
Well apparently they are as far apart as the holes in a electrical socket
And guess how I know? Yep...I was about 5 or 6 at the time...WTF was I thinking?
I will always remember how the sparks flew

Reading all these stories reminds me of the Jeff Foxwerthy joke about when he was a kid and was about to stick a penny in the light socket and rather than stop him, his dad said, "you want to stick a penny in the light socket, ok try that out....wow!!! Hurt like hell didnt it? Dont do that no more"
Jeffs a funny guy...
