I have finally given up on my knowledge of LT1s. First off my fuel pump went out and also jumped timing. So I replaced the fuel pump, reset it to top dead center and bought a new timing chain. I have replaced the opti less than 6 months ago and I have good spark and fuel. I did this all without driving the car since I have a limited amount of time working on my car. So everything should be good to go right well some what. I get the car running drive it around for about 45 mins. Now I babied it around nothing serious slowly got it up to 95 but when I stuck the gas it would bog down and didnt like that much so I knew something was wrong. I go to fill my car up with new gas and turn the engine off. I started pull out of the gas station accelerate up to speed get to about 3500 rpm and the engine cuts out and now wont start up again. I check the battery and alternator both are fine. I am up against the ropes and I am getting my *** kicked by my baby. If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Only differenc between you and me....mine is a Z28....your is a TA.

I think we need a support group for LT1 owners....

Is it throwing up any codes?

Westsidetrans242

Check engine light is on but I have tried 3 code readers and none of them read the pcm. I am basically running blind trying to figure this damn thing out.

What kind of Code Readers were they..

the 95 will not work with most standard code readers b/c it is an obd2 connection with obd1 computer.

Not all were OBD2 Connections..I have the Pinouts for both if it has to be converted.

Good question,my service engine light comes on sometimes...do we have ob2 connections or obd1? I need to get it read

the majority of 95s have the obd2 connector.

Westsidetrans242

Lt1= Yea, mine has been trying my patience. If i didn not just put so much time and money into mine i would yank the crap and put a gen 1 in it.

I had that problem on a Dakota, it was the same **** till i had somone with a shop that knew what they were looking at. You need to go to a shop and tell them it is a OBDII connector but it is OBDI, if they are worth a **** they will be able to help you.

sounds like your opti went..thats what mine did after the cam install..check your dowel pin length make sure its not putting too much pressure on the opti..but it sounds just like mine did and it was a destroyed opti
