Default LT1 Help?

I am a new Camaro owner and new to ls1tech.

I just bought the car 3 weeks ago from an older lady. I am the second owner. I am having some issues and would like advice from more Fbody owners. I have been trying to research for the last few weeks with no solid answer. the issue i am having is the car will start out great while sittinf for a few hours. Once it hits normal op temp or 3-5 milutes of driving it will start sputtering bad and not move hardly. I was told once it goes from open and a clsed circuit it starts the sputtering.


Little car info:

1994 LT1 camaro A4
173,200 miles
100% stock

I have taken the car to chevy and pulled the following three codes:
48- MAF sensor circuit,52- Ignition control kit, and 50- volt low.



When I first bought the car i have replaced the spark plugs, fuel filter, knock sensor and oil change.

The pervious owner has said to have replced the o2 sensors(3 years ago), egr valve(1 year ago), and plugs( 5 years ago).

I have been told to check the Coil, Control module, and opti-spark.

I pulled the wire from the coil and seen it sparking, and when I unclip the control mod it will start but throw a SES and I have been told that the car will not make it past 10-20 miles if the opti was bad.

So far I have ruled out the coil,control mod, and opti.

Ive also had the car running, and unplugged the MAF and the car did not die or throw a SES.


Would anyone be able to steer me in the right direction?



Thanks for your help.
