LT1 Cutting Out. I think this is probably my opti spark that went. But figured id check and see anyways.
So got my tune today, flashed the tune to the car. Fire it up and runs just fine go and put gas in start my data log program. Fire the car up runs just fine. Go to do a pull getting on the interstate for data logging. Get to about 5200 rpms and it cuts out so i push in the clutch and got nothin reading no rpms. Come to a stop and well seems like the batteries dead won't turn over. So get my dad to come jump me. She fires up like nothin was wrong so i take off and get a couple miles down the road and does it again. So i probably have a bad alternator too as the battery is completely dead. The thing that gets me is the damn thing ran for 3 or 4 hours yesterday and started ran today drove it around for about an hour before it did this.
GAH!!

Check the battery connection. If it's loose or corroded it can cause all sorts of problems. Side post batt's love to leak out the side posts when they go bad and it causes corrosion on the connection to the batt cable.

I did get the charging system figured out was just a bad battery. But now my car wants to fire but won't and it takes forever for it to actually fire. When it does fire it won't stay running.
