So,

Like Injectors ...
What happens when you Blow 1 ... or a couple ?

Coming home from work tonight ... Something Popped On My Camaro ... Made like a Loud Krackeling Noise, when louder when I rev'ed it ... I was finally able to get it back up to speed , after a few. I made it home, threw some back roads. But Something most definately Wrong here ... My Fluids Check fine .... I really don't think it's The Fuel Pump, or Filter , Nore Electrical Obviously ... it's something different, and I think it's gas related for some reason.

Any Thoughts ?

I just sold my 94 Z28, I had a similar thing happen, it was my number 3 or 4 spark plug cap. it came off and the engine was missing bad. I jacked up the front end and put it back on.

I had a spark plug come out in my 76 camaro and it sounded like a shotgun blast and the car was missing.Got home put in a new plug and everything was okay.
Hope it's that simple for you as well.

Hey J, I hope it is nothing to serious man. I am definitely no car expert so I have no advice to offer. I take all mine to the dealer ship when or if there is any issues. That is how much I know about fixing autos. :grin:

I blew my Entire Exhaust System ...
I put in a New Catalytic Converter ...& It's at the Shop right now, getting a New Muffler , Tail Pipes and whatnot put on ... I can't Weld.

I also did change all the sparkplugs..., New Wires & Distributor Cap & Rotar ... The Spark Plugs Crumbled in my Hands and Ratchet, and 1 of The Plugs was Fused to a Wire, that was sorta a Pain ...

Not too Much cash involved ..., all in all Everything needed to get replaced I suppose.
