Angry rant: follow up to previous post...

Ok, so you guy smay have noticed my earlier post concerning my 3.4 v6 and what was wrong with it.

Well, i took her for a tune up today...got her new plugs and wires which she needed. the place that did the tune up messed something else up tho...everytime i drive it now the traction control light goes on when breaking below 10 mph and you hear a clicking sound. I suspect its the abs. I took it back to the place and they said they would look into it overnight....they were pretty certain they had nothing to do with the new problem but I believe otherwise as its never happend before they had it.

any ideas on what it could be?

also...now the acceleration is pretty much ok....but its vibrating quite a bit and the place i took it too suggested it was the coils...

I told them to fix the breaking issue before i worry about coils.
I'm pretty sure i need the coils tho...is this something I could do myself?

Also...im sick of the place i took it to today...so if I cant do the coils myself [note- i am not very educated with how my car works etc] I will take it to a chevy dealer and let them play with it. Im sick of spending money.
One more thing...when i first bought the camaro I figured crap like this may happen one day, so I bought a 2 year extended warrenty which would include the coils i believe....all i would have to do is pay a 100 dollar deductible. Thing is, I bought teh car from a ford deaership...and they dont know jack about my car...so im gonna have to see if the warrenty is good for a chevy dealership. I have had a bad day.

Check into the warranty before you get any work done on the suspension. A Ford dealership will fix your car even though it's a Chevy...no matter what, they need to honor the warranty if it covers what you need to have done, and of course, you have a right to expect it to be done right.

A vibration when you're driving could very likely be an alignment or wheel balance issue. Sometimes a simple re-balance if one of the weights has fallen off will correct any major vibrations at highway speeds.

Anyway, good luck!
