Chevrolet Camaro acceleration issue with engine and traction lights on, multiple occurrences despite ignition coil and spark plug replacements on Chevrolet Camaro

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Camaro owners report experiencing acceleration issues accompanied by engine and traction lights, even after replacing ignition coils and spark plugs. These owners often face persistent misfires that can lead to poor engine performance and trigger the check engine light, despite attempts to resolve the issue. Additionally, a dirty throttle body may contribute to slow acceleration, with symptoms such as erratic idle and engine stalling. Some owners find that if the RPMs increase without corresponding acceleration, it could indicate transmission problems affecting power transfer to the rear wheels. Other potential causes include vacuum leaks or issues with connectors to sensors like the ignition module, IAC, or TPS, which can also lead to misfires and acceleration difficulties. To effectively address these ongoing issues, a comprehensive diagnosis that considers these various factors is often necessary.
