Car has slight miss at idle? I'm not sure what is going on with my 97 Z28.I had a bad injector causing a miss,so instead of trying to find out which one,I replaced all of them.
I have also replaced all the plugs two weeks ago.
I started the car and it idled ok for a few minutes and had a little smoke coming out the exhaust pipes (really didn't smell like anything), then it started to have that slight miss. I took the car for a 2 mile drive and it ran fine,until I come to a stop and then I could feel the miss again. At no time did I notice smoke coming out from behind the car.
I come home,put it in park and the miss is there as is the little bit of smoke when I hit the throttle.
I'm not showing any codes at the moment.
My mechanic is out of the shop for a week,so I can't take it to him for a while. Anybody have any ideas as to what to check? Would a vacuum leak cause this sort of behavior? Thanks
