Ive been having problems with my car lately! Its a 2000 camaro 5spd! My car seems to shake when its on and once i give it gas it sputters! The check engine light turned on and when i give it gas it starts blinking!

 

great time to have it scanned for codes.try your local auto parts stores.most will do it free

 

The SES blinking means that is is misfiring. As dc14 said, get the codes scanned. How long has it been since you changed the plugs and wires? That is one of the most common causes of it missing. Also, might want to check the plug wires to make sure that they are not touching exhaust manifold and have a burned insulation allowing them to arc on the engine.

 

ive had the car for about 2years and have never messed around with the plugs or wires! Im pretty sure it still has the original ones! and another thing, after i drive and get where im going, i get off and it smells like somethings burning!

 

burning smell might be a plug wire touching.could be as simple as that causing the missfire.that's a free visual check.matter o fact look at it while it is dark outside and visually follow each wire.look for fireworks

 

thanks for the help! Changed the wires and plugs and car seems to be working better and i think one of the wires was touching also!

 

Its so loud! Why is everyone yelling?? Haha glad you got that fixed though..had 2cylinders misfirng couple weeks ago, an ill yell you something..a 4 cylinder camaro is not so great lol

 

Hey, just wondering if your camaro is running perfectly now as i got a similar problem with mine.........?????????????

 

Glad to hear it worked out! On my wife's Grand AM GT we did the same thing and finally came to realize it was a plugged cat. Car ran like crap and the SES was blinking too.

 

it worked fine for awhile but ended up finding out the catalytic converter was bad so it got taken off and unfortunately it started doing it again recently im thinking its the fuel pump but still havent gotten to fix it
