My baby is dying...help me!!!
Ok i bought this camaro and it was working perfectly one day all of a sudden it just stopped work great. It starts it drives but when i hit the gas itll stall smokes, when i punch the gas it feels as if i lost power, i cant peel out, itll drive and shift gears after a while but soon itll bog out and seems as if it has trouble breathing, maybe something to do with intake....not sure anyone have any ideas? please help....

Give this member a prize!
This vehicle has a clogged catalytic converter, caused by misfires that create a rich mixture. You need a new converter and a full ignition tune up, including new plug wires. Carb or injectors may need service, but may not.

my '90 was doing something like this the other day...........i would go to accelerate and it would start to shake and the tacho was going crazy jumping up and down
and i know that the seal on the intake manifold is bad and needs to be replaced, but its never done that before, could it be the fuel pump?
