My 98 Camaro with the 3800 V-6 is all stock.I have taken really good care of her. I am the original owner and shehas 280,000 miles. I have never had a minutes trouble out of her. I got her oil changed last week and as I was leaving I noticed she was idling a little rough. I went ahead and had the spark plugs and wires replaced, cleaned the k&n filter, and replaced the fuel filter and the pcv. There are no codes, but I can tell the idle is not correct.She always cranks and there is no hesitation. Also, I don't know if this is a seperate problem or not, but sometimes when I take the fuel cap off there is a vaccum sound. I replaced the fuel cap but it still happens on occasion. Please help, my husband wants me to get a new car, but I am not ready to give her up.

 

Definitely try some Lucas Fuel Treatment on a couple tanks of gas -- this has really helped my '95 w/132k+ miles!

Also, maybe some fuel dry treatment -- maybe you have moisture in your fuel system?

 

Just to let y'all know, the problem was too much oil. When I had my oil changed, they filled it up twice. Luckily it didn't blow any seals. When they drained the excess oil out, she runs perfectly again.

 

Did they charge you double?

 

i have a couple questions here,


1.where the hell do you drive to get them miles lol
2.are they that dumb?

 

I drive about 100 miles roundtrip per day to work. I have had her since December 1997 and she still runs and looks great. I get compliments all the time. Everyone jokes with me that it is about time to trade her in, but that will never happen. My oldest son wants to make her a race car, but that will never happen either.
