Hey guys a better ? yet. I have an 87 irocz 5.7 .. When I am driving the car for a while it will start to idle really rough, and it trys to shut off when you come to a stop light.. Thanks for any help..

sorry to hear. I would take care of that so it doesn't stall out on you.

Kid Racer · 03-15-2009, 10:30 AM

I would like to fix it. But I dont know what it could be..

can you explain a little more. you are very brief in your post. diagnosing through the interweb is very difficult with 1 sentence.

not to mention the lack of the question, or connection to the ESC in the title

Wouldn't an 87 = carb ?

87's were available with carbed 305's, tpi 305/350 and mpfi 2.8's

Okay let me see here after driving the car for awhile it will start to run really rough.. When I come to a stop light or a sing it will try to shut off, and when I go to take off it bogs a little bit and spits and stutters.. It will happen after driving the car for an hour or longer.. The "esc module" was another ? that I couldn't find on the Internet and then I found it so I figured instead of making a new post I would just use this post.. Sorry about that.

I edited the title for you, but please do not do that in the future. If you have a thread here asking a question, it is a good practice to post up the answer you found (if found elsewhere) in that thread so that users with the same or similar problems can use that information to help themselves when searching.

Please do not just edit a post with a completely new and un-related question, just start a new thread.

Thanks.

Okay.. I'll remeber that for next time thanks... But for the problems with the camaro that is the best way I can explain the the problems.. The car has new spark plugs, wirers, cap, and rotor button.. So I don't know what it could be.. I was thinking the esc module but I read on line some where that it controls the knock senor, and the page said what happens when it goes bad and to me it didn't seem like the problem that I am having.. So someone else told me it could be my feul filter so I put a new one on it and it didn't help.. So know im stuck and don't know were to go..

madness410 · 03-15-2009, 09:07 PM

is the fuel pump stock? when was the last time you changed your fuel filters?

Kid Racer · 03-16-2009, 08:43 AM

i just put one on it.and yes the pump is stock but it works fine tho

Kid Racer · 03-17-2009, 10:53 AM

Anyone.

98tadriver · 03-17-2009, 11:06 AM

how long is a while? long enough to let the car come up to operating temperature?

Just to catch you up to date ron. Thanks for being interested in this ron. I could really use your help on it.

98tadriver · 03-17-2009, 04:53 PM

hmmmm, im no 3rd gen f-body guru or anything but ill think of some stuff.

is it carbed? maybe the choke sticks?

maybe your EVAP or egr stuff isnt working

sweetbmxrider · 03-17-2009, 06:32 PM

when it stalls, can you restart immediately?

Kid Racer · 03-17-2009, 08:37 PM

yes i can restart it immediately

Kid Racer · 03-22-2009, 02:45 PM

Is there anything I can do

Batman · 03-22-2009, 03:17 PM

Climb under and tap on your catalytic converter (lightly!) to see if it rattles. Could be a plugged Cat.

Kid Racer · 03-22-2009, 08:40 PM

there is no cat on it

Jersyboyy · 03-22-2009, 08:48 PM

What motor is in that car carbed tpi or 2.8?

Kid Racer · 03-23-2009, 09:25 AM

tpi 5.7

DevilDougWS6 · 03-25-2009, 01:09 AM

vacuum lines? does it overheat? pull out your plugs and post up pictures. after driving for an hour......could probably be junk in your fuel tank clogging up the sock, or even filter.

do these have the same in-tank pump as 4th gens? if so you may need to drop your tank and check your fuel pick-up sock. and scrub out your tank.

NJSPEEDER · 03-25-2009, 10:30 PM

I.A.C. is prolly either gummed up or dead. Pull the TB off and clean it up really good.
