Re: 85 camaro help
does it continue running smoothly, or does it start sounding like a poorly-idling diesel engine being lugged? The answer to this will tell whether the problem is engine related or electrical.

Re: 85 camaro help
either your ignition timing is wrong, or you have carbon buildup in the combustion chambers, or both. When there's carbon, it stays hot enough to keep igniting the fuel, even without the sparkplug firing.
