So I have a 93 lt1 t/a, when I bought the car it ran fine. Now a few thousand miles later I've had the same issue twice. When I start the car it idles around 500 when it ran originally around 900. When I give it a bit of gas it starts to choke its self and starts to sputter and back fire from the intake. The first time I had the problem I was unable to find it.. after getting frustrated I gave up for the night went back the next day and it fired right away and no more problems. Now its back and I would really just like to fix it. I have no clue where to start look.

edit: it gave me a code 15, which is a low temp at engine coolant sensor.

not saying this is your problem but i had a problem some what similiar it was a timing problem, the rotor inside was timed off from the bearing.....

Yeah, I've been told timing before, also have been told it could be a fault sensor. My service engine light is on and I hooked it up to a scanner. But sadly it wouldn't give me codes or allow me to clear them. Which really sucks...

Check fuel pressure

Did you loctite the rotor screw? They like to back out.

I've never done any real work to this car yet, so the I can't give you a definite answer but chances are the real answer is no.

If I were to take a video and upload it to youtube would any one maybe be able to help a little more?

Certainly possible.

I'll take a video tomorrow and upload it to youtube first thing in the morning.

Pulling codes is simple, just jump the a to b port with a wire. To clear them just disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. Try a search, pulling codes on 1993 Camaro.

Did you check fuel pressure?

kyle.transam

No, just because I don't have the gauge on hand, tomorrow ill go and rent one so I can do it.

Did you pull the codes ?

kyle.transam

Yes, i got a code 15. Found a wire to sensor had been broken so I fixed it. Cleared the codes and ran again and nothing came up.

Video sounds like classic case of loose opti rotor.
