Help me troubleshoot
So I took my camaro SS to work this past week (2 hour drive one way) and on the way over there everything went smoothly. Parked it for the week and used my dually that was already over there. On the way back everything was going great for about 1.5 hours of the trip home, but the last half hour my car started jerking and bucking really bad and when you even pressed the gas pedal the car felt like if it was in limp mode, so I baby it all the way home. I got home and figured it was misfiring so I changed out my spark plugs/wires and my o2 sensors. I also realized that my catch can was disconnected from my intake manifold so I reconnected everything nice and snug, started it up and it still has a rough idle and it still feels sluggish. I'm about to do a start up and log it to see if that shines a light at anything any suggestions on what it could be? Thanks for the help.

Just as a update found the fix ground wire had come into contact with header and melted off used same gauge wire to solder together and fixed the issue.

Glad you were able to fix it.
Just a note to anyone who reads this for reference. When dealing with electronics in any of the newer cars I always advise my guys in my auto repair shops to first check and clean all grounds before you spend your time and money chasing issues. Its amazing how many cars we fix with this simple process when trouble shooting vehicles.
