  • Strange Behavior today

    I have a 2000 Camaro.....155000 miles....took 100 mile trip today...speeds mostly about 70+...got to my destination but when I got to a stop light the engine shook and the Amp meter moved to about 10 volts....if I pushed the engine in N to about 2200 rpm...then voltmeter went to 12:00 but behavior was repeated under same circumstances....when I took the 90 mile trip home the amp meter was normal...about 1:30 or 13 volts.....
    Oil Pressure was bad when this happened but was fine on the way home....any ideas??
