Running really slow
Running really slow So after taking my car to the track last night it is defanatley running slow, i cant figure it out problem goes as follows.....If my car has been sitting for a long period of tim like overnight or 5-6 hours it runs awesome does not hesitate at all and acclerates like it should but after driving for about 10-15 minutes it starts to run really crappy , idling rougher hesitating when acclerating and just not feel as fast as it should???? HELP!!!
Sounds like an oxygen sensor....Unplug them for a trip down the road and see if that doesn't clear up anything. It also could be the ignition moduel. When they heat up, they will cause a car to miss, or just litteraly die all together.
No SES light? If not, maybe your EGR is fugged up. How old are your plugs/wires? I had a burnt wire that made my car run like that. If it's not throwing a code, it makes it a little harder to track down.

Why cut yourself and everybody else on here down like that? It think my motor runs decent, and several others do. I think its time you did another mod to your motor to lift your spirits.

Most lt1's are ragged out and never fixed. This is a benefit to those who take the time and money to assemble one right. People think it's just an lt1.

you didn't answer it, but wondering if the SES light is on? (right away, or after it warms up)

If it is not setting the SES light, most like likely, it is not the O2's. While it would not hurt the change them, try changing the teperature sensor in the water pump. That is the one the computer uses to base it's tune on. It's alot cheaper than O2's.
