Ive been reading these forms for a while now...and just became a member. Therefore, this is my first post and i can really use some guidance with my 2010 camaro ss.
I just finished doing the cam install in my ls3. I need some help The cam is texas speed & performance, stage 2, 229/244 .629"/.615" . included with the cam I also installed a new oil pump, timing chain and sprocket, lifters, push rods, valve springs, rockerarm trunion upgrade, got the heads cnc ported, spark plugs, and long tube headers.
When i went to start the motor for the first time, it was misfiring a lot through the exhaust. it sounds like gun shots. The check engine light came on with code P0300 (multiple cylinder misfire) after this happened, i removed all the spark plugs and found them to all be soiled except for cylinder # 1 & 5. I checked compression on all of the cylinders, they were all at 190 psi except for 1 &5, they were at 170 psi. after doing that i checked for spark on all coils, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. All was good there. Fuel injectors were also good, because i made sure they all sprayed doing the cam install. I am not sure if this is happening because of push rod length, or if the valves are not seating correctly. Or if the car just needs a tune to fix the problem. I read some forums on here about the misfire issue, but most of them talked about the check engine code.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated
The car needs to be tuned. Please talk to Ted Janetty as he is a guru with tunes. He tuneed my 2010 camaro with FI and it is a beast. Don't drive the car until it is tuned. Hope this helps and good luck
