Hit a snag...
Hit a snag... I just replaced the opti on my z28. I got the MALF 16 or whatever it is code. So I just finished replacing the opti and the car turns over, has spark (checked plug wires) and you can smell fuel coming from the exhaust. But it won't catch.
Any suggestions? I'm going to put the data logger on and try turning it over tomorrow, hopefully I can pull a code...

Verdad Gallardo The summit brand is $250 and the acdelco is $310. I paid $310, so I'm sure it's the ACDelco. The code is gone, no codes at all right now. It might be bad gas? I am pretty sure the wires are on right, but I will have to go check (again). I'm not terribly worried anyways with the gas prices as is, I don't think I want to put premium in a s/c 350 
No codes at all. Datamaster-EE. All the vitals check out and are fine, the only thing that worries me is that I have less than 10 volts when cranking. It usually is between 7 and 10 volts.

That voltage is ok when cranking (7 is low but as long as it cranks--ok). Does datamaster show the rpm changing, map, injector dc?
I didn't notice this before, it's showing knock count when cranking. My best guess right now is plug wires, cuz when I switched two of them (3 and 5) the car almost started. They are such a PITA to reach with the vortech in the way.

It's reading everything... Inj pulse, spark adv., etc. The rpm is staying constant @ 50 rpms I believe, the laptop took a dive on me and I need to charge it to get some info.

ok no problem

that is WAY high! Mine cranks with and starts with ~8 ms
INJ DC (calc): 4.3/4.3
mmm mine is ~2 but I have 42 lbs and it is started at that point
o2 sensor mV: 781/879
well that implies it is hitting since low is lean and missing is lean
AFGS: 0.00 <------------- MAF reading 0 gm/sec?
normal until it fires up
TPS %: 0

Spark Advance: 13.0

all normal

not to worry it starts at some point meaningless until the number changes
