LT1 driving problems Hey guys I have a 1996 LT1 Z28 and for the past day my car has been acting a little funny. Last night when I was leaving a stop light my rpm's dropped and the car sputtered and stop and when I pushed on the gas again it did the same thing but then it acted normal. Well I went to start it tonight and it started and instantly died and wouldn't start back up but it rolled over. It eventually started and when I was driving the rpm's dropped to 0 and when I pushed on the gas it wouldn't do anything but then the rpm's went back to 2500 and it idles at 800. Could this be a fuel filter problem? O and the it is 30°f when it was having problems starting. Any help is appreciated guys thanks!

Z28LAB -
If everything was fine prior to this event, then look for obvious issues, like a vacuum line that has split or is disconnected.
With the car idling, spray some carb cleaner around the vacuum hoses - if the idle speed changes, then you've found a (maybe not THE, but a) problem.
Fix one thing at a time, and then check again.
Good luck!
