Ok back in September I bought a 1993 3.4 auto camaro. The guy I bought it from hadnt really driven it much in about a year. Since i've had it i've probly taken it on 4-5 short drives around the neighborhood and i have tried to start it and run it for a few minutes at least 2 times a week. The reason for all of this being that it wasnt plated or registered. Well today I went to the DMV and did all the crap so i can legally drive it. I get home and bolt the plates on to take it for a spin. I started it up and it was idling pretty rough, but i guess this is understandable since its 20 degrees out and it never gets driven. Next, I get out on the road and get up to 50mph, and the engine is really load and sounds like its workin hard, also the backend is unusually loud. Again, i thought this was just a product of sitting for many months. So i make a stop at my uncles house just to chat for awhile, and when i come back out the car wouldnt start. So i kept trieng and it finally turned over, but it was running absolutely awful. The oil pressure dropped down to 20ish and kept goin up and down between like 15-30. The engine was sounding all fugded up and the car was jerking a little. So i thought oh sh*t. I pulled out onto the road and when i hit the gas the oil pressure returned to normal and i got home. So my first day in the camaro sucked balls, and i was hoping you guys might have some thoughts as to what the hell is going on. I am thankful for any input.
P.S= i have changed the oil, oil filter, brakes, plugs, and plug wires already just as routine maintence.
