Default Need Help Fast!

Got home from Louisiana late last night, but the car (2001 LS-1) began stumbling badly around Baton Rouge and limped home to Pace, Florida with no power, stumbles and stutters when you step on it. It idles fine. It seems it won't accept a throttle position beyond just off-idle. The problem is also intermittent. When I started it this morning to go get gas, it ran perfectly as if nothing had ever happened. I really need to get a handle on this and fix it, as I need to drive this car back to work in Louisiana next Tuesday the 6th of September.

Any suggestions/help appreciated.

Rick

Goto autozone and have them pull the codes...You could check for leaks in the intake plumbing to start.

Maybe the high voltage side has an insulation
problem and doesn't like getting wet? Even loose
plug wire/boot. Sounds like drying time was all it
took.
