Ls1 misfire Hi guys, I’m at my breaking point with This car.. So I LS swapped my 72 camaro about 8 years ago and for the first 6 years it ran like a scalded dog. Last year it developed this horrible closed loop miss, it feels and sounds like it’s running on 4 cylinders until you get it above 1500-1800 rpm then it seems to clean right up.
What’s really got me stumped is that it isn’t throwing any codes at all (GM pcm) I pulled all the plugs and they don’t really show anything either….
has anyone run into something like this before?
any help would be greatly appreciated!!
TIA, Scott.

ever change the o2s ?, they can go bad and cause problems just like you described . have also seen a stuck iac act like that. have also seen bad intake manifold gaskets do some wierd stuff. just some ideas for you.

I have been thinking about changing the 02 sensor I guess that would be the next logical thing g to replace. I have already replaced the IAC motor.

Not for that set up.. I recently Ls swapped my 69 Chevelle and I’m running Holley Terminator X max on that one.. I can do whatever I want with that set up, but I don’t think I can access the GM pcm.
You need to look at your fuel trim and other live data to get the full picture. There is a bunch of different possibilities of what could be going wrong. If you don't have a live data scanner you can get one for pretty cheap. I had one called blue driver. Its just a bluetooth dongle that works with your phone.There are a bunch out there though, take your pick.
