Hey y'all! So I'm super new here... I have a 1984 Camaro Berlinetta with a 305 V8, which I have done very little work to since I've had it. Anyways I recently got it all registered and insured, and I noticed it was idling rough at stop lights, so I took the old QuadraJet carb off and sprayed all the different ports and jets. In addition, I cleaned the different sensors with a sensor cleaner. I don't know if I made things worse, but it idles even rougher than it did before. To the point where it'll shut off if I don't pump the gas... There's also a few sensors that aren't plugged into anything, and I'm stumped as to why it runs so horrible 😬
My mechanical knowledge is that of an 8 year old lol, when I pop the hood it kinda scares me I won't lie. But I want to learn and will take any advice that I can get! (:
