sounds like a possible vats problem or a wire touching somewhere

search VATS and that will give you some ideas

OK is that the Fuse box under the hood? The Fuse? I checked that, Fuse is ok and it has power to it, thanks for the input

This thread has nothing to do with the New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech section, so I moved it here to the General Maintenance & Repairs section where it belongs.

Peace,

try the above mentioned ignition RELAY. Not fuse. Replace it with a new one.
