my car wont idle after startup
i was racing/driving the car lastnight ('99 camaro Z-28 w/ a 400 trans) and everything was going good.... on the way home from the track it threw an SES light, but the car still ran fine. i started it up today, and it sounded like it had a huge cam in it for a few seconds, then died..... now it wont fire up for more than a second........ i'll give it gas right away and it will rev, but very roughly.
anyone have any ideas??? when the car is running the SES light is not flashing, just steady on. any input would be greatly appreciated.

it feels like a miss, but i heard that the SES light would be flashing... or atleast for multiple misses it would be flashing. it's steady. i think if i only had one miss that the engine would still run... just shitty.
