Got a Prob!

Ok when I am only in 2nd gear is when this happens. At about 2500 or 3000 rpm the car will not really stumble but more like a hicup and then it's fine. This just started happening today. The car has 128k, my frind has a 89 camaro and he says it's either the plug wires or the coil b/c this exact thing happend to his car a couple months ago. What do yall think it could be? Thanks.

Re: Got a Prob!

it is the cheapest easiest place to start if the engine is not throwing a code. $20 or less. Any minute now someone will scream the part that causes problems in every part of the car including flat tires and worthless girlfriends

THE OPTI

wait for it.......

Has the car ever really had a tune up? I would say with almost 130k on the car it needs a whole ignition system tune up. I would do new plugs, wires, opti, and coil.

My issue was a burned plug wire, and a bad egr. New plug wires/egr blockoff's later. Engine runs like a champ.
