Well, that's not good. Bad MAF, maybe. The backfiring might have destroyed it.

take it to a dealer. Geez. Were not having any success on this. When you find out what was wrong post it. Share your new found information. Sometimes dealing with a problem through a garage could save you money. Because less parts will be broke because of incorrect problem fixes.

Maybe they're brothers, or cousins? The writing style is way too different, and one has an avatar. Hm.

Oh, how we await your every move & bit of information.
While you tow to the garage, run it down the track to see if your track time increases becuase you are now using two engines, the tow car & the broken camaro.
Why do you keep posting same problem with different names?
