Default Weird problem

It seems like randomly the car will backfire alot. Sometimes the car will run perfect and stront then once the car cools down completely and i go start it up again it will run like ****. Seems like its misfiring. Once it cools down and i run it again it runs perfect again. The car has a cam, and minor boltons... Its a 2002 Camaro with 55,000 miles.... The plugs were changed at around 30k. but not the wires... Does anyone have a clue why the car dows this randomly.

do you have a flashing SES light?? if you do that could be foul spark plugs or bad wires, but it could also be a sensor is going bad or something minor like that, what plugs do you have in there right now and what is the gap???

I would say the plugs and/or wires. Mine did the same thing, changed plugs and wires, now it runs like a dream.

Check if the wire are on tight and also if you have a loose plug.
