Default same problem

I got the same problem going on in my turbo 2000 Camaro. I have changed the crank sensor multiple times, coils, plugs, cam sensor, pigtails on cam and crank sensors. my problem is very erractic and could go days without doing it but when it does it I will jab the gas to accelerate and it will shut off and back fire 3-4 times while rpms drop then will fire right back up and keep going. I been fighting this problem for 2 years now and cant figure it out.

Thank you (!!!) for updating your post with the solution. That will let other learn from your problem. And misery.
Joecar came very close to diagnosing it; knowing him a bit that is no surprise.

Thanks91ls1silverado!

I've had the same problem with my SBC 24x conversion and couldn't find a single other person with the same symptoms as mine.

At least now I know to look for a ground or CPS.

Cheers.

So I can't leave a thank you?

Or is calculating time between posts and posting your findings the entirety of your contribution to the subject...

Sure you can! "Calculating" in this case took about a second and a half and posting not much more than a minute. I was just advising that the recipient of your "thank you" isn't here to appreciate it. He is long gone. But you did learn to check your connections...

On the one hand you are obviously welcome to thank another member, and normally that is even encouraged.
However, on the other hand, it forces people who are very active on the forum and who read most posts, and everyone to participated or subscribed to that thread years ago, to (again) review a very old post. That is why G-Atsma took some exception.

I know your intentions were good and even admirable, but after you have participated in hundreds of threads, you will understand where we are coming from. One way to satisfy both desires, is to PM the author and send your thanks that way. Just remember that some people participate for a while and then leave.

Again, I really appreciate your good intentions and hope you take no offense to my feedback.

Since this is an old thread with a conclusion, I am going to close it.
