Camaro acting wierd???
Camaro acting wierd??? Ok I changed the plugs and wires, rechecked them all 3 times so im sure they're gapped right and plug wires are in all the way also, changed oil because i had synthetic 5w-30 changed it to gtx high milage 10w-40 since i had what i believe a lifter noise, car has been filled with unleaded fuel since i bought it 3 months ago
Car feel slow and heavy on low rpms, steering wheel feels somewhat heavy too and im not sure if its just my imagination anymore since my dad drove it and said it felt fine. Anyways, I have done almost the complete tune up
plug and wires
fuel filter
oil change
air filter
changed the serpentine belts
so im not sure if it has just been the gas since today i just changed to premium gas and put some STP fuel injector so ill hope it was just the gas, not sure what else to check, I have no codes or any really rough idle so not sure but im sure there is something wrong
this is a video of how its sounds (NOTE: not my car just sounds the same)

^^^Thats piston slap common to ls1 between my friends and I we have owned 5 fbodys 3 out of the 5 sound just like that one wasnt quite as bad and the 98 was the quietest I'd look elsewhere as that sounds "normal" for an ls1

could be... but a knock sensor or any of the above should throw a code. the o2's are a wear item and are good for abt 65k then they are recommended to be replaced as they get a little lazy so if u have some miles on em it wouldnt hurt it to change em

Verdad Gallardo It's probably the gas and now the computer probably has to relearn the timing curve a little bit with the higher octane.... But ya at 98k I'd do the o2 sensors. I see you have plans for lt's in the future if thats the case I suggest you get the corvette rear o2's they have about 18" more wire because if you do get headers you will need the extra length to reach the headers.
nevermine , they are the bosh ones i guess the owner did replace them since i took them out and they have a red cable cover on them looked at autozone.com they look identical to the bosh ones. Not sure if its a problem but i think my passanger side cat is bad i bang it and hear rattle not sure if its the rattle from the whole y pipe or just the cat??
i was going to check the other o2 but something when putting it back in landed on my eye and its been irritated since yesterday morning, can't even drive thats how bad it is, hope that anything that is on my eye recovers because its bad

This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (193,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.

Most of the time the O2 sensors can be graphed and if they in the right ranges then they are ok unless there is any physical damage. B1 went out on mine but it set a DTC and i just replaced it after work one day. BUT now with 142,000 on it the other one is bad, HEADERS!

yeah read about the free warranty but the dealer here is backed up like 5 days so he said i would have to leave it one morning and come back, but cant do that since its my daily driver
