not to mention, reving it too soon after engine start is not a good idea to begin with as you are putting excess strain on the motor before the oil gets a chance to circulate thruout.

I first noticed the "backfire" using the remote start so I tried a normal key start followed by a little throttle. Same effect but it is inconsistent. I cannot hear the sound after warm-up but honestly I'm not 100% certain on that.


2. what gear are you in when you are cruising at 1500rpm? try down shifting a gear. then again, you are in the auto.... and when you are cruising, it most likely is switching to 4 cyl mode.

Its the auto tranny. I haven't even tried the tap shifters yet. If it is AFM then fine but the vibration I feel seems unnatural. A tap on the accelerator and it goes away. No hint of a stall.

3. let her break in some more.

you can wait on the A-pillar. its cosmetic.

That would be easier for me if I could wait to get the A pillar fixed at the same time. I expect the dealer to call me back tomorrow and I'll suggest that.

All-in-all I have no complaints. I love my Camaro. Heck, EVERYONE loves my Camaro

Thanks!!
