LT1 Issue
my car just randomly started running weird when i start my car and just go it misses out and spits and sputters and wants to die.
but if i let it warm up for about 15-20 minutes it will run fine?
im just trying to diagnose what could be wrong.
as of right now i havent owned changed plugs or wires in the car and it does need an oil change.
i know this good but i havent been driving it alot lately so ill im going to change the oil this coming friday but im not sure when ill have the money for the plugs and wire. im not even sure when ill have the time because im going to guess and say its a time consuming process on an LT1.

very well could just need some plugs. they are a pain to change but i have done them in less than an hour. the rear one on the passenger side is the worst. of both camaros ive bought neither has had that rear plug changed in a very long time, werent even the same plug as the rest. i know mine were so bad on this last one z i picked up it would not start when i got it home. changed the plugs and started right up. so new plugs would be a good start and they really are not that spendy for factory recomended plug.

do u know how long the opti has been on the car. there usually good for 80 to 120k miles. but yah could be the opti. i would change the plugs first. try getting the car in a really dark place and start her up and open the hood, look for spark plug wires lighting up. maybe use a flashlight to see were the wires are then turn it off and see what u see. ive had every wire lighting up like a show in one of my older cars quite a few yrs ago.

i dont think it was replaced when it was rebuilt.
