Hey guys, this isnt a camaro im talking about, but im talking about the same engine that was once put in the camaro.
Anyways, it is the iron duke.
I spilled brake fluid all over the wiring and stuff, so i wanted to clean it off, and i gunked the engine. I sprayed it off, and let the engine idle for 15 minutes like the directions said to.
I went to drive the car today, and it seemed to studder after i got done stopping at a stop sign, and i was pulling out. It stalled out once, and studdered and almost stalled when i was trying to go after the light turned green.
I first thought the problem was when i had the AC on only, but i turned the AC off, and it did studder a bit. It seems to only be shuttering when the car has been idiling for a while (like waiting at a redlight) And after driving it around for a while, it seemed to quit, and only happen when the car was idiling.
WHen i say studdering, it feels like in the car, when you let the clutch out too fast, and dont get it enough gas, the car is shaking, and studdering trying to stall out.
Im assuming that some water got in the distributer cap, and isnt letting it fire right.. but i just wanted your guy's opinions.
The distributer is REALLY hard to get at, or i would of already taken the cap off, and seen if there was water in it.
I dont drive the car much, and if the problem is water in the distributer cap, is there any harm in letting the water evaporate by itself?
Thanks.. and if needed, the car is a 1985 chevy celeb.
