My 2000 Camaro SS starts up a little rough. Usually i have to give it a little gas while starting it because the engine is stuttering. Once its started everything is fine. But if i start up the car and it stalls while stuttering it refuses to start. This happened to me today in my driveway so i took one of my other cars and jump started it with cables. Even with the cables it did not want to start at all. I finally got it to start up and all was fine.

The idle is definetly a little rougher than i remmember but its set at around 1000-1100 rpms.

What would cause my starting issues? Would a bad O2 sensor also give me trouble? I have no check engine light codes and replaced the battery/alternator recently. I also recently replaced my throttle position sensor because when i would start the car it would automatically rev the engine to red line without pushing or doing anything.

Did the battery ever go dead?

It probably doesn't matter but i figured out the problem and its fixed. All 8 spark plugs were bad so i swapped them for new ones and everything's great.

Yeah man fouled plugs is your issue for sure. My car is doing the same thing right now because I need to tune it.

Fix your tune; fouled spark plugs can keep your rig from starting.

Well i drove around for like a month or two without a tune about a year ago. I had the car tuned and all was well. I guess that period of not having a tune came back to bite me.
