i know its not a ls1 but can some one help
-car will not start, i open the door (lights come on) put the key in (ding ding ding) turn and click nothing happens and all lights and accesories die. take the key back out and wait a sec...put it back in and no lights or accesories.. Get out, undo battery, check batt voltage (12.5) hook batt back up lights come on the the same things happens as before. So i try to jump the car, same click same reaction. Check all my fuses, all are fine but the damn thing will not turn over. I checked for shorts in my nitrous system and every where else cant find anything. I recently put a new start in. Could my PCM be fried? if so then why the hell does all of my lights come on and then....nothing, wont even turn. This turned out longer than i thought. Any ideas? also if any nitrous guys are reading this if you could post where you wired your nitrous system in so i can double check that one more time, like what pins it should go to. help

sounds like an ignition relay, or a starter solenoid.
post this in the approiate forum and you will net more results.

i.e. LT1-LT4 or General Repairs and Maintenence.

Opti Spark? I've heard that opti spark is pretty much a plague on the LT1's.

if it was the opti it would still turn over, just not fire. its somthing between the igniton switch and the starter, possibly the starter.
