Ruff Idle
Ruff Idle Hey guys just picked up an 02 camaro Z28.
I'm noticing that it idles a bit ruff. The guy who owned it before me has paper work on new plugs, wires, fuel filter, injector cleaner ( Everything looks good on the fuel table chart) He also has paper work on a new Y pipe, and a SLP lid.
It defiantly feels like its idling a bit funny. An clue? I'm hoping maybe the idle is just a little low, its sitting around 750/800 rpms.
Thanks in Advanced.
Ps: The car only has 37k miles on it.

Auto or manual? Auto are set to 550-600 rpms in drive, while manuals are around 900 rpms. Are you sure it doesn't have a cam in it? If it doesn't then check all the plug wires and ensure they are good and tight on the coils and plugs. Although he has paper work showing that stuff was replaced, I wouldn't trust it unless I pulled the plugs. Then again, I would still replace everything for my sake.

check the MAF and make sure it is nice and clean... also check the pcv stuff and make sure no hoses are leaking or just hanging unattached. Like summerwolf said, start with all the little things!
