I took a video of my car's issues when I go from being on the gas to letting it idle. https://youtu.be/1lthBKn1eYU It does this same thing while I'm driving. Notice the lights dim and the oil pressure drops slightly. It idles low too. Between 500 and 600 RPM. I've replaced the MAF sensor, air...

I have a 1997 3.8l Camaro that is mostly stock aside from a couple bolt-ons. When ever I rev above 3,000 rpm and release the throttle, a rather high pitched, very load rattle resonates from somewhere under the body.

My wife's 1996 Camaro with the V6 3.8L had the AC go out many years ago and she just took it in to see how much to fix it. The guy said it would cost around $1800 which is far more than we can afford so I'd like to bypass it in case the clutch does ever fail since we aren't using it anyhow. (I...

Hey all, Lately my 98 camaro 3.8L has been misfiring. It doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold. It doesn't matter if idling or cruising down the highway. Every once in a while, the ses light flashes then stays on steady. Sometimes the light will go away within the same trip. When the...
