its an 88 camaro with the 5.7L 350 TPI. A/T. when im driving at around 10-20 mph and barely pressing the gas pedal it starts jerking like its puttin or missing. i have replaced the plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor. what else could be causing this? fuel filter? TPS? I also know that i need to replace the injectors. but would that cause the problem im having? like i said it only does it when im barely pressing the gas. usually when im coming from a stop and get to about 10-20 mph. PLEASE HELP ME. thanx

  1. It's hard to tell with out seeing it but there are 3 things that i can thing of it could be 1. it could be the tranny you said it was replaced recently i cant remember if the 88 has electronic shift or not if it does it could just be your pcm not have the correct settings for the trans solution-plug your battery overnight and it should reset the pcm and it will reprogram for the new trans (you should do this anyway as your pcm is prob. still set for the old worn out trans and will cause the new one to wear more rapidly) 2. your tire could be a little out of balance go get them checked. 3. if your injectors are going bad you might as well replace them as this can cause all sorts of problem as they get worse as this is the most expensive i would do this last  


  2. disconnect the air flow meter  first . check if it makes any difference if it doest change it.

  3. injectors are the most likely. do that first whatever speed your going... with bad injectors a certain psi of fuel could perfectly unalign and spew in all wild and crazy... TPS is usually only buggin at idle...fuelfilter wont let you get over 30 if out of the driveway if bad

    NOT THE TRANNY DUDE. CHICK DONT KNOW N E THING. I HAVE AN 85 AND A 67 AGE DOESNT MATTER THEYD SMOKE HERS. 10-20 MPH IS ONLY ONE GEAR NOT A SHIFT POINT. not the tranny i repeat not the tranny
