Default Engine runs on 5 cylinders only

Hi,

when starting the engine in the morning (still cold) it runs very unsmooth and I guess it runs on 5 cylinders only. Then after ~1 minute everything is back to normal...


Any ideas ? Is this a bad thing or will renewing spark plugs help ...

The car has been checked completely just 2 month ago.
It is the 3.4l and just ran 112k miles!!

So what do u think might be the reason for one cylinder giving out or whatever it does ?

Try the easy stuff first -- replace plugs & wires, fuel filter (supposedly every 50,000 mi.), try some Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant and Fuel Injector Cleaner...

Hopefully you replace your oil on a regular basis and have no debris in your engine...

Get a repair manual for your year Camaro and check the troubleshooting section -- get the version with a CD-ROM for your computer (saw it at Pep Boys)...
