Rough idle after warmed up, dies, bad smell
So I have a 92 camaro rs 305 tbi auto, bought it a couple months ago and the guy said it dies beause it needs an iac valve. I replaced it and the problem was the same. It’ll fire right up, idles bad, when put into reverse or drive it dies unless given gas, when I gas it, it smells bad like maybe rotten eggs. Any help is greatly appreciated.
New parts:
distributor rotor and cap
Iac valve
egr valve
map sensor
coolant temp sensor (by thermostat)
fuel pump
fuel filter
fuel pump strainer
intake air temp sensor
alternator
thanks 🙂

No check engine light, yes only when warm, probably old, and I haven’t checked them but they spray in a good cone shape

I'm not familiar with the TBI setup, but I had an improperly adjusted TPS do exactly this on a TPI engine. It smelled bad at idle too. When I installed it had inadvertently set it to .054 volts, instead of the correct setting of .54 volts.

My 92 RS was doing the same thing. I replaced the iac and throttle position sensor, then reset the ecm. It seems to have helped a lot, but sometimes when I start it after the car has already got up to temp it will stall like it is vapor locked, I think its because the charcoal filter is clogged.
