Default SAD NEW CAMARO OWNER.

Ok I just bought a 2001 camaro with the 3800. SHE HAD A RUFF IDLE SO I PUT LUCUS INJECTOR CLEANER IN IT AND NOW WHEN I MASH THE GAS THERE IS A BAD STUMBLE. IF I FEATHER THE THROTTLE ITS NOT THERE. THE TECH II TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A FAULT ON # 5 CYL. I REPLACED THE PLUGS AND WIRES AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK OUT THE K&N AIR FILLTER AND INSTALLED A FACTORY AIR FILLTER THINKING MAYBE IT WAS AN AIR PROBLEM AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. HOOKED UP THE TECK II AND NOW ITS BOUNCING AROUND ON DIFFERENT CYL. I THEN WENT AND PUT A NEW FUEL FILTER ON HER AND STILL THE STUMBLE IS THERE. THIS WEEKEND I AM GOING TO HAVE THE INJECTORS FLUSHED AND SEE IF THAT HELPS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET ON THIS. I LOVE THE CAR AND WILL GET IT FIXED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.....

man this just happened to another member and also myself, first thing i would do is check your vacuum line because its whats wrong with mine, if i go pass 4rpm about it will buckle and then stall if i idle this repair will cost no more than $50 if you do it yourself, by the way all 3 of us have the 3800 engine so im pretty sure that this is the problem with it

I disagree.... Because when he stomps it, he misfires... A vacuum line would do it all the time at any given point... I'm betting on a coil pack :$

Then the control module may be shot or you need to replace all 3 coil packs?
