1995 LT1 wont start. Car has been off the road road for about 4 years. Just installed new opti and water pump and now I cant get it to start. It turns over and tries to catch but wont stay running. Bogs real low at less than 100 rpm for up to a minute or so and then dies and smells extremely rich. Took out the most accessible plugs 1 and 3 they look black and wet.
Spark is good at coil which was also replaced. Gas is new. Is it possible opti was bad from the box?
I'll check for spark at plugs when I get a 2nd person to give me a hand but any other ideas?

Yeah. You can see where it slipped into the clover leaf. It went on easy and looked flush but I'm guessing the bottom bolt wasnt. It wrecked the bearing in the new opti which sucked but I took all the internals and cap and rotor from the new one and used the backplate from the old one and worked all good.

I did similar. I never had an opti to go bad when the car was my DD but the bearing in it had gotten rough so I pulled it apart and kept the original Mitsubishi sensor out of it. I still have that sensor. Currently it has a Delco Opti with an Joe blow cap and rotor.
