Default Missing

Ok here's the prob., My car has been missing for the last 2-3 months. At first I thought it had something to do with the rain, ask the dealership and they tell me it may be a bad plug wire, b/c it really only did it in the rain, but now it seems to do it everytime I do it, It come and goes while driving for any amount of time. And if it starts WOT will make it quit although it takes it half a sec to a second to quit. Any thoughts as to what it is. I have LT headers and car has 37000 miles on the odometer. Thanks for any help guys!

Did you ever check the plug wires? That is the most common problem

Start by pulling and reseating each of them at the
plug end. You just may find one of them flapping.
I did.

I went with gm performance 8mm wires (red). I heard that other after market wires could cause massive arching on the ls1. Not for sure just what I read somewere so I figured I would go with the best GM had to offer. Oh yeah make sure you put your heat shields back on espescially if you got headers
