running like crap
 
my camaro lately has been running like crap. when it's idling, it shakes like a cammed out big block. and it's very underpowered (seriously, a camaro shouldn't lose to a geo metro[:@]) does anyone have any ideas??

p.s. it's a 3.1 v6

Sounds like it has solid misfire. Start by changing plugs & wires.

checked them out today, all are fine. i'm starting to think maybe it's timing, i don't have a timing light though.

well if you just put newwires on could you maby have ran a wire to the wrong cylynder? like idk if those cars ahve distributer caps or not but that would throw off your timing a bit.lol....
