Post idel problems

Well, my car when it sits still idels from 450 rpm - 1500 rpm's and when its driving the power just seems to cut out and it dogs and accelerates slowly.

I added in some fuel treatment for fixing bad idel no help, I also added some fuel injecter cleaner, and added dry gas

None help!

450rpm is really low for a v-6 especially 3.4l. I assume its an auto. It sounds liek ignition to me. Your gonna hafta check your coils, wires and plugs. Thats seems to be the biggest problem with the 4th-gen camaros, keeping the ignition maintained. So checkk all of that crap and get back to us. otherwise it could be the air filter... sensors... the list goes and goes.

I just put in new plugs today, the wires are fine the coils have 10K on them!

I am starting to think its a Mass air flow senser! Stupid things are expensive too.

Its a manual like my sig says.

I am tempted to put an ad in the paper for 5K and getting rid of it, and buy a ford or a geo!

Hate to pop your bubble

But our 3.4's don't have Mass Air Flow sensor's, they use speed density to calculate engine load, using a MAP sensor.
