Default 97 Running like ****
my 97 Camaro is running like **** and feels super lazy and in addition to that it starts up without the spontaneous start!
Info:
i changed my waterpump not long ago, waterpump was leaking water due to the stupid shop that didn't tighten the bolts at all.
i believe the opti got wet, the other day as i was driving home it turned off out no where!
i waited about a minute and intented to turn it on and it did.

does this sounds like the opti is going bad due to the motherfukn shop mistake?
