I've been having an intermittent problem with my 99 V6 Camaro. Occasionally when first running the car for the day she'll bog down under load, sound like I have bubbles of air (best way to describe it, it isn't a loud backfire) coming from my exhaust. She'll only do it while I'm in drive. In neutral and park she revs fine with no problems. The problem usually goes away after warming up and she drives fine.

Today though that didn't happen. Ran pretty much like crap for a half hour even after warming up before I brought her home and shut her down. Any ideas on what it might be?

 

Get it scanned.

 

Code, please.

 

Got the code pulled. Apparently it's a misfire in cylinder number 5. Guess I'm gonna pull the plug and see what it looks like. Since I'm flat broke right now I'll try cleaning it first and see what that does. Hopefully it'll solve the problem at least temporarily until I can afford new plugs/wires.
