Please help me out here all you LT1 guys I recently posted the following in the general repairs forum but didnt get much help on the subject so please give me your opinions.
Well I was driving my car yesterday and it suddenly shuts off and will not start back.It will turn over just fine and every couple seconds you can hear it trying like hell to crank. It seems as if something is keeping it from starting because it will get pretty close then it will just turn over like its out of gas.
Checked the bleeder valve or whatever on the intake and its getting fuel.It shut off once at random about 3 months ago one time but started back just fine.Someone please help me out here.

Sounds like an ignition problem to me. Just curious have you checked actual fuel pressure. When the car is turning over, does it smell like gas. Do you hear somewhat of a hiccup sound when starting.

I'm voting ignition switch. Very similiar to what happened with my car. Have fun changing it if thats what it is, hopefully you have small hands. Or you may get lucky and it could be the ICM, which is much easier to get to.
