im not sure if the plugs are fouled or not yet, i'll know tomorrow and i have no idea what kinda care this car has had, it has 150,225k on it

 

so today i got the camaro up on the lift, wasnt as bad as i thought i was gonna see, the steering rack bolts either rattled loose or they werent put on right, my exhaust is a slight nightmare but a exhaust shop by me said he'll hook me up with a magnaflow muffler with 2 stainless steel tips and well up the rest of the exhaust for $300, friday i'll have the money for an new 02 sensor and hopefully that will fix the misfire

 

have a question, are valve cover bolts the torque to yield type of bolts? i have new gaskets ready to go on

 

not they are not, you can reuse them.

 

thank you.

 

so one of the spark plugs i pulled out smelled like gas but the others didnt? should i be worried? or could this be where the random misfire is? and im also gonna throw in the new 02 after im done with the last 2 plugs

 

keep track of the cylinder. could be failing plug wire or coil pack.

 

alright thanks, how often should i pull the plug out and check it?

 

how old are the plug wires? try checking for sparks (from the wire or at the coil pack) at night. find the darkest place you can and start her up and look the motor/plugwires over. cant see all the places but works. lol, could find a buddy to run his hand along the wire when the cars running and if he lights up you know its not a very good wire. anyways have the codes cleared and see if the missfire code comes back. if so it wasnt the plug, test the coil pack. fyi sometimes a coil pack can test good but fail once it warms up.

 

i have no idea how old the wires are, they dont look too old, they are the MSD wires and i'll do the spark check after i fix the small fuel leak

and i already had the codes cleared, monday i'll check the codes again cuz the lights back on but im sure its cuz of the egr delete and skip shift delete
