93 LT1 All kinds of bad :( Hey guys, I've browsed the forums for a while but never really posted. My 93 Z28 is all kinds of bad right now. The car ran poorly before as it had a literally random as can be miss and stutter and would clear up in a split second while driving like a Jekyll Hide act. No matter what though, it ran SUPER RICH. My bumper has been black the whole time. I was going to my buddys house and it died on me as I got in his driveway. It will crank but will not catch. The SES would come on randomly and then go away while running.
I scanned it for codes and I got them...a lot of them. Any thoughts on false codes or anything of that nature?
22 - TPS (I had just replaced it)
23- IAT Sensor
33- MAP Sensor (Same)
44 - Lean o2 reading
55 - ECM
61 - ?
65 - ?
Any ideas?
BTW I used this chart, I believe it is the right one for a 93 Z28 - http://www.troublecodes.net/GM/93_57J/
EDIT: Or is it this one? https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...eshooting.html

Does your speedometer act up at all? If you have access to a laptop and cable look at what the computer is seeing, not just codes. I searched and searched about my 93 running lean for roughly 4 years. After talking to Ion it was determined my ECM had some failing solder in it. I bought a spare ECM since mine was drive able and had it sent out and repaired. Fixed every issue I had with the car and it's quirkiness. It's a long shot, but definitely something to look into though.

The speedometer has been fine. HERE is a mind boggling one. So I just started making sure connections were good with the ICM and coil, which they appeared to be, i just tugged on them and random things just for the hell of it.
I crank it...IT STARTS! I'm scared to drive it but it starts. SES is on constant now too.

When my coolant temp sensor was bad I was getting like 17 codes. Running super rich, like 8-10mpg rich. Missing, stumbling, etc etc. Would only start when the engine was cold, anytime after that I'd have to hold it at wot to get it to start.
