I would get the codes read, or buy a code reader and do it yourself. Does the car shake, studder, or anything else unusual? Stick or auto?

Plugs, wires, coil packs... Any OBDII reader should work and the hook up SHOULD be under the dash on the drivers side. My coil packs go out more than anything else tbh so check those...

ECU is located under the hood, passenger side corner by the firewall. Hard to miss as it has a bunch of wires that go to it.

it might be your catalytic converter
check to see if it might be bashed in.

My money is on plugs or wires. The heat build up under our hoods is incredible, and that cooks ignition parts. Good luck

i bought my 98 camaro about a month ago and and it had a busted catalytic converter which caused me to loose power. if there is a rattle that might be the problem,

Was it raining? Could be a distributor cap
