90 camaro 305ci. will EGR valve cause excessive smoke? by johnny2521

I have a 90 camaro with a 305, I'm getting a stored code of EGR failure. The car is smokine excessively at all engine temps, pulling off from a dead stop it's really bad! can a failed EGR cause this amount of smoke? I've done a compression check, all cylinders good. I don't want to put in valve stem seals If I don't need too, was just wondering if the egr alone can cause that much smoke.Thanks!

what kind of fuel delivery system do you have? most problems that i have seen with egr is very poor gas mileage and odor. this comes from excessive fuel introduction on non carb. applications. you might ask mr shiftright or opatience

Transmission weirdness by trouble10

I have a 1988 IROC Z with 167000 miles, all original etc. When my speedometer is sitting on 60, it is running at 1600 rpm. For no reason it will do strange things! I thought at first it was down shifting back to 3rd but seems like if it was, the rpm would go higher. You can feel it, almost like a miss and it goes up to about 1750 rpm for just a few seconds and then right back down to 1600. It does it alot. Of course I took it straight to a transmission shop. As soon as the guy got in the car for the ride, it was on it's best behavior! Never did anything wrong until I took the guy back and left. Then back to the same old thing. Does anyone have any ideas of what might be going on?

My optispark recently failed while car was in gear and moving. I had no spark anywhere so I replaced the opti, the old one was full of coolant due to a leak at the water pump. I put everything back together and now have spark, 40 lbs of fuel pressure but the engine will not start. Could the vehicle have jumped timing when the opti failed? Or could I have dropped a valve?

I have 95 chevy camaro with a v6 in it i think it is the 3.4.. When you start the car it runs fine sometimes it runs rough but when you go to hit the gas to get up to speed it starts to break up and putter and it will do this when you staying at a steady speed to. I have done a full tune up on it and checked the compresion. I dont know what eles to do.

2002 Camaro-V6 Noise by sal29

Sure enough the minute I pay-off the loan, the car starts to have problems.70k miles. When, I turn on the ignition, and hear a noise that sounds like it is coming out of the rear exhaust.
 
Now, today, when I turned on the fan to run the vent-air, I hear a fan noise. The motor on the passenger window has been broken for over a year.
 
Now, I worry about driving the car. Certainly do not have the funds to pay for major repairs. Any ideas?

what would be the next step, I just changed the fuel filter and it is still doing the same thing. it will idle for along time but as soon as you rev the motor it dies out.
