Ahhh ok guys im in panic mode over here. Everything was going great with my 95 trans am, Last night i did a very small standing burnout for about 5 seconds and everything was fine. I started to drive back home and the car stalled. I started back up and stalled again so i pulled over. I looked under the hood there was no smell of anything no signs of anything bad at all from up top. I waited about 5 minutes started back up and drove 15 minutes home. When i got to my driveway it stalled and wouldnt stay running at all. I went insdie and came back down this morning and it started right up and stayed running for about 15 minutes. Then it died all by itself now it wont start at all. What the hell is going on here.

How many RPMs were you pushing? Also how much oil pressure are you currently running?

I think the burnout was just coincidental...and something was on the way out anyway...so are you saying it looks like the coil did the trick?..

Well I have had coils fail me on some old school cars...I dont see why these would be any different. Sounds like you may have nailed it.

I hate how people just assume it's the opti. If you don't know, don't just rattle off opti. God I hate that.
