runs rough when warm
my camaro runs decent when its cold but once it warms up it runs like *** at lower speeds but once i get on it its alil better. it sounds horrible too. I jus had it tuned and replaced the opti but neither fixed the issue. any suggestions

it doesnt clear up. once the car is warm it starts runnin rough and continues as long as im goin about 30mph or slower. when i accelerate it dont jus go it kinda builds up the shoots off. if im on the gas goin over about 50mph its alil better. i replaced the o2 sensors and plugs on friday before i got it tuned. i had the opti replaced today and still running rough.

or EGR, i guess that could do like that when it's warmed up, or maybe even your cats might be blocked, i would think the cats would do like that more cold than hot though, never know

this is it. you can hear how nasty it sounds. i got new opti, coil, o2 sensors, no egr or cats.

i took it to a different shop today and they said they couldnt find the problem. they said they checked fuel pressure and the injectors. i paid a lil closer attention on the drive home. it rides decent for a few minutes the gets real rough. i pulled over turned it off then started it right back up and it was back to runnin fine for a few minutes till i got home. so its not an issue of it warming up then goin to $hit.

First of all, let's back up a little.
Why did you have it tuned in the first place? Did you just put some mods on the car? Who tuned it and did it start acting up right after the tune?
You say you replaced the opti, so assuming this is pre 98? What year is it?
It is hard to tell in the video but that sounds like a major (constant) misfire or a bad exhaust leak. Since you have no flashing SES I'm assuming a bad exhaust leak but I can't see how a shop would not notice that.
Lastly, did the shop see if the o2 sensors were switching properly? It sounds like maybe the shops just don't want to deal with it.

its a 94z28. i got a cc306 cam 1.6rr 36lbs injectors 58mm intake and tb lt headers and all the other bolt on stuff. it needed a tune.i replaced the plugs and o2 sensors before i got it tuned. the shop i been takin it to is a performance shop that deals with camaro and mustangs. they said it was givin a code for the opti and a low engine temp (temp sensor for the computer wasnt hooked up only for the aftermarket gauge) i replacedthe opti, that aint fix it so i took it to a different shop for another opinion and they couldnt find anything. im certain its not an exhaust leak. its gotta b a misfire but idk whats causing it. the usual suspects are good. im gonna unhook the o2 sensors and see what it does.

it was an o2 sensor. i unpluged the passenger side sensor and now everything is fine. the sensor is brand new so idk why it cause a problem. and now that i think about it. i had only been runnin 1 seonsor and when i changed them out for the dyno i hooked both up and that when it startted acting funny but i didnt think that couldnt made that big of a problem. but it runnin like a champ now. im probably gonna jus leave it unplugged

But.....you're PCM might be running in a default SD tune.....if that year PCM can do that. You should find the issue........then fix it.

Or two, you put an aftermarket o2 like Bosch instead of Denso's or Delco's and it was bad to begin with. Anyways, glad it's a non-issue now
