Acceleration/Idling issues...
This is my first post! okay so i bought my 95 camaro about 2 weeks ago and its been running just fine. Just a few days ago i started it up just like normal and it started shaking and vibrating my whole car pretty significantly. Now it always idles pretty rough and shaky and sometimes it takes 2 tries to get it started. Then i went to put it in gear (Automatic) and when i slam the gas pedal it barely accelerates. it takes me about 20 seconds to hit 60. the rpm's increase very slowly, and its also taking longer than usual to shift. the day before all that started happening i put a full tank of premium in for the first time since ive owned it, not sure if that could be affecting it. So i replaced the spark plugs and it still happens. i took it to a shop today and they replaced the muffler (Hole in the side) and the TPS. still hasnt changed. they suggested i come back to get the exhaust gas sensor (I believe) replaced... any ideas would be very appreciated.

The shaking you mention is usually the result of misfire, probably an ignition problem, but could also be a fuel problem. How did the plugs look when you changed them? Did it run OK before you gassed up, or did you just fill up with premium hoping it would fix things?

The spark plugs were decently black and a little corroded. and it was running perfectly normal before i put in the premium. i just figured id run a tank of premium for a change.

change the fuel filter and when you take it out dump the contents (from the tank side) into a clear container so you can see what it looks like. may have water in it. water in fuel can cause old injectors to fail. have the injectors ever been cleaned and tested? may be a good time to have that done.

need to use a fuel line disconnect tool to get one side off the filter. look at number 32 on the list here, 4th Gen LT1 F-Body Tech Aids
