ideal thing would be to be able to scan. I had an issue similar to this, it was the coolant temp sensor.

Are you using an OBD2 scanner? Parts store scanner or?

fbody_brian

coil, icm, opti?

should probably start troubleshooting using info from shoebox site.

ok changing icm to a broken spare gm icm, and it ran but maf had to unplug do to surge, run good so bought new bwd icm installed, ran for short time and died like 20 seconds, so put gm part on it and ran, bought another aftermarket icm and same problem any ideas y it runs on old gm part and not aftermarket ones?

It's hard for us to help you when your post are so poorly written. At least use some commas or something so we can read it a little easier!

Aftermarket Chinese junk does not work as well as genuine gm or ac Delco parts.
