So for the past 2 weeks I have had the problem that when I first cold start my 3.4 to 5.7 LT1 swapped camaro (A4) it will run fine until the engine gets right around the ~160 degree mark. It runs fine until then but after that the engine idle drops to about 500rpm (in park) and I THINK its flooding its self.
When I take off just a few seconds after a cold start it runs perfect, but as soon it warm up the exhaust ton changes to like a gargle and the performance drops significantly. If I leave the throttle at about 3k it will "clear its throat" and take off like it should. If I come to a stop once its started acting up it will get down to as low as ~300rpm (im guessing since its on the verge of dieing!), the car shakes like crazy and there is NO check engine light.
Here is what I tried from others suggestions without success.
I replaced the coolant temp sensor, looked for a bad vacuum line and tried to clean the carbon buildup on the O2's (Money is tight and cant replace the O2's yet).
Note: from the swap I used a 1993? block, a 1995 and computer harness and 1996 externals such as alternator water pump etc. and smog and AC were removed.
HELP! Camaro season is coming SOON, I need my girl to run!
THANKS!
