Hey everyone, i have a 95 TA with the LT1. I just replaced the water pump and took it for a test drive. About 10 minutes into the drive mt car started missing and back firing through the intake. I slowed down to make a turn and the car finally just died. I tried to crank it but all it would do is pop and almost sound like it wanted to start but would not. I opened the hood to inspect and found coolant all over everything. Apparently during the bleeding process i forgot and left my lower bleeder screw opened which apparently caused my coolant to spray all over my engine after it began to warm and build pressure. Do you guys think this has drowned my opti spark or would it have damaged something else? Any help and ideas are appreciated....

Sounds like an opti spark problems.

The opti is the only thing that comes to mind that getting all wet would cause problem with that (barring the possibility that you got some into your intake somehow, but that's unlikely). Given that the opti is right under the pump/bleeders, i'd say that's your culprit

Hey Stephen, welcome to LS1tech!

I've stuck your question here in the LT1 specific section.

Go get him people!
