86 camaro V6 running rough...

I just got an 86 camaro 2.8l v6. My car has a very rough start and won't idle, it also has a hard time accelerating and backfires a lot. When I unplug the mas airflow sensor the car starts, idles, and runs perfect! I have tried two new mas airflow sensors and still have the same problem. I have replaced: mas airflow sensor relay, fuel pump and filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, disturbuter, and air filters. Nothing has worked so far. Someone has suggested to replace the EGR vacuum solenoid, but I am not sure why that would be different with the mas air flow sensor unplugged. Any ideas what is wrong or what to try next?

Re: 86 camaro V6 running rough...

you could try putting this in the V6 forum they might know more.

i'd check the injector condition/pulse.
