Problems with my 98 camaro I have had a few problems lately with my 98 camaro and was wondering if yall could help me try to figure out what it is?
The first problem- I will be driving and start to slow down and ill be going like 5-10 mph and the rpm's drop down to around 4-500 and it starts to act like the car is going to die but it never does. It does this constantly when im going at a low speed or if i am in slow moving traffic. Any ideas?
Also- The car back fires. After i fill up the car with gas it usually back fires and when the car gets to about a 1/4 tank it backfires when i start it up (i stopped letting it get that low and it stopped backfiring with low gas). But like today i went down to work fed the boss's cat and drove about a maile or two up to a conaco gas station shut the car off went inside for about 3-4mins and when i came back out and started it up it back fired, and now that i think about it it hasnt back fired in a while till today.
Anny help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks- Zach

Moving to General Maintenance/Repairs....
Are you getting an SES light? Is everything tight with the clamps for the air lid/bellow/Throttle body? Any damage to the bellow?
