Hey guys, To be short and sweet, I havnt been driving my car in awhile because I didn't want to put a lot of miles on it...fast forward to today I cranked it up and the rpms kept going up, and it sounded like it wanted to choke. I think if I left it on longer it sounded like something was going go "boom!" sorry I can't describe it any better but any help would be appreciated! I also Checked the oil and it said it was 67% and I can't keep the car on long enough to check the pressure of it.

Did you check how much oil is in it? If its low top it off and get it towed to the dealer

devildoc · 12-02-2011, 06:14 PM

Sounds like a possible carbon build up in the injectors ..... def check oil, though I don't know if I would top off anything unless it is showing nothing on the stick.

Low battery voltage can cause problems with modern engines. Was it slow to crank? Could also be dried fuel residue in the injectors.

Check the battery voltage and, if below 11v charge it up. Start the car and, if it's still running rough, let it idle till the fast idle is done then hold the throttle at about 2500 RPM. It may clear the injector on it's own.

If neither of these helps, let the dealer look at it. He'll probably do an injector cleaning on it.

Check the battery voltage.

Good news all, let it idle for a few minutes and it went away. Drove it to sonic with a few other camaro's! Just reminds how much I love my six banger!

thanks for all the help guys

OOLIE · 12-03-2011, 08:42 PM

Good news! Maybe the battery charged up or what ever. I know when the battery is starting to go bad on my dodge dakota it won't idle for crap. I have to rev and slam into gear. lol
