Default need help cant figure this one out, please help!!

this problem has been plaguing me for a while now. the motor runs great without a flaw until i get to operating temp then it bogs down and will die even sitting in place. if i give it gas while its bogging down it will backfire and die (almost sounds like a misfire) when i turn the switch off after it dies and restart it, it runs good for 10-15 minutes then the same thing happens again. i have recently replaced the battery, alt, fuel pump, water pump and thermostat and none of this has helped. im also not sure if i can have a diagnostic test ran being that the ls1 is in a third gen camaro, bought it that way and the wiring seems a little screwy. i have drove this car for over two years without a problem this just recently started happening and i have no idea how to fix it. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Any codes? How are your O2 sensors?

Your car will likely have an LS1 computer and diagostic link, so you can get it scanned. That's how you can check your O2 action.

Sounds like an emissions function is causing your engine to go rich and choke. You'll need to commune with the computer to find out what's going on. Lot's of parts could be the issue.
