Hey guys I have a problem when I drive my camaro sometimes, not always but sometimes (more the usual) when I come to a stop on a stop sign or a red light and when I begin to accelerate my car chokes, when i press the gas it starts moving but i feel that it doesn't produce enough power and then after a wile it jumps a bit and drives normally what might be causing this issue?

 

Be a little more specific.

 

When I am at a complete stop and I want to accelerate a feel the car not being able to produce enough power for it to start it starts to shake alot and then at a certain point it drives normaly untill the next stop. When I am not moving its ok, as soon as ?I start to press the gas the RPMs drop a little under 700 and then they go back up.

 

whens the last time its had new spark plugs installed? should test the fuel pressure and scann for trouble codes.

 

So I scanned for codes and its the Cylinder Location Sensor, is it hard to change the sensor because i found one for 50$, and i don't know if i should do it myself or take it straight to a mechanic.

 

never heard of that one. must be a cam sensor or a crank sensor. what code letter and number came up?

 

cam sensor is what it was sry my bad, the code was P0... sumtin sry i can't remember i got my mechanic to check it for me

 

you have 3.8 motor?

 

yes sir

 

cam sensor is on the front of the timing gear cover, crank sensor is behind the harmonic balancer. test your coil packs first, a failing coil pack will cause a misfire code, you can pick up a cam sensor from rock auto for like 23 bucks.
