Well Craby you said just right ( Sensitive )! I found out that the A/C does cycle on and off and the fans do work. I just needed to let it set and get up to temp. The a/c does need some freon though. I think my prob is one of my coil packs. I researched that they can cause other malfunctions to go nuts. I'm gonna take them off and look for cracks and discoloration on them. I'll keep ya posted on the silver squirrel.....lol

Ok so the coil had a small chunk broken off on one of the corners. I replaced the coil, but still misses a little. Could it be a vacuum problem? Oh the a/c issue has gone for a turn now...lol ! I followed the vacuum line coming from the a/c controls in the car and it goes through the fire wall and splits. One side goes to the front of the car somewhere and the other goes to what looks like a switch or a sensor mounted on the side of the intake manifold which was loose and half unbolted. I tightened it down and now I only get air through the defrost and floor board no matter what control setting it's on. Any ideas?

Update on the hesitation! I replaced two coils that were bad, new plugs, replaced the o2 sensor, replaced a split vacuum hose coming from the purge valve that I totally didn't see before, and I will replace the last coil very soon, cuz It'll be going next I'm sure. Now she runs like a freakin monster. Still a v6 but just sayin.......lol

About the air not blowing through the vents? Well that's a blessing too. When I fixed the vacuum leaks poof it was like magic. I don't know if it was that or me just swearin at it got it working...........lol ! Now that it's running good I might just have someone cut the top out for T-Tops. I've heard good things and bad things about doing that, but I'll need to research it a little more. What do you think? I believe that all the hardtop Camaros already have the framing for it, but just covered and needs cutting and a little fab work right? Thank you for all of your input.

As a general rule, and depending on age and other factors, you should have replaced the wires along with the plugs. How old are the wires?

The plug wires looks fairly new. I did change one that was just hangin off the boot due to some nut brain not knowing what he was doin. I have to admit that the plugs weren't that hard to change in my V6 but the last one on the passenger side in the back was a pain in the a$$. It would be a good idea to change the rest so I'll know that it's takin care of. Thank you for the idea!
