I recently bought a 95 trans am that was modded by the previous owner and left aside when he bought a new camaro. Car ran fine for the first few days but then It started dying on me and wouldn't start up. Took about a minute or two to start. The car will do fine if I up shift myself and only if I slowly accelerate up to 5-6k but it will sputter and drop the Rpms or not respond at all at wot. Also I get a strong odor of gas. A mechanic in town told me that it could be the fuel pump or the opti because the car had been sitting for a while. In drive the car will not go at wot. This is my second trans am and I know what they can do but thiamine feels sluggish and weak. Thanks for your help.

Check coils , plugs , and spark plug wires . Are you getting shitty mpg ?

i know this may be a surprise but you ever considered the OPTI?

I would start at the opti for sure!

Very shitty mpg, and I thought about it but I don't know much about the lt1s to determine. I had a ls1 for the longest time and I'm barley learning about these engines.

I'm shocked you bought an lt1 AFTER owning an LS. I've owned a few and frankly I'd rather have a sepositry filled with AIDS. Hope you get it figured out.

So after checking the car the fuel pressure I saw that the car would lose all pressure at wot! It would lose pressure little by little and my mechanic also checked the opti and saw that it was damaged. I changed the opti and I'm getting the fuel pump changed right now!! Thanks for everyone's help

Lmao!! These by far are the truest words I ever heard in my life! Lt1's are a waste of time! On the flip side I'm glad you might have it figured out red_diablo good luck on everything

I'm amazed no one has thought about unplugging the MAF and see how it runs.
