LFX Engine (Help)
Hey guys, my 2013 LFX V6 Camaro's Engine RPM is unstable (Between 500-600 goes up and down) this also causes the engine to shake and the shakes could be felt inside the car.
No check engine light is on and i have the OBD to provide you info if needed. do you have any suggestions ?? i believe it could be the spark plugs or the injection nozzle please watch the video below and help me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/e7ch1mr7pl...%2022.mov?dl=0

Mine does that too but I think it's fine as I have great performance from it. Engine doesn't shake.

It didn't look too bad on the video but if its shaking when stopped or when your slowly rolling then it could definitely be a spark plug. Went through to many of them on my 95.

Take to service department at local dealer.... walk up to service manager, tell him what's wrong and say..."Fix it please"! Always works for me!

let me tell you my reasons .. 1- I don't live in the U.S. 2- I don't trust mechanics here. 3- Obviously i want to fix it myself rather than depending on others my whole life 4- My car is out of warranty

Mine shakes a little at the stop light as well. Been happening since the day I bought it with 17 miles on odometer. You should be ok.

the low rpm's creates the shake but your rpm's are where they are supposed to be.

the car should not shudder like an old bus when it comes to a stop. My 2014 ls does not do that, you should probably have it checked out at a few different mechanics and make note of what they say (not necessarily have them do anything to the car yet) so you can compare their responses
