Default Help, 01 Camaro LS1
So after doing an LS1 swap in my cousins camaro, the car has been acting up since. I went to autozone and they told me it was the O2 sensors but I already put brand new ones (13111-Vette O2's). The car has been tuned for mild cam and stall. The car sputters when i turn it on and stalls out sometimes. Once it warms up and while driving, it acts better. When you get to the light it turns off again though. I already fixed the fuel problem so i know its not that. I checked the fuses and the O2 sensors for burn marks but I dont see anything.

Can anyone help me out here, individual or shop. Im located in 75217 near Balch Springs but can travel. Prefferably someone with a scanner or hptuners and with knowledge on these matters. I can come up with some cash.

Thanks in advance!
-Jesse

I know you said you checked it but are you positive the plugs/wires are good?

Still sounds like a tune problem to me, but your first big mistake is consulting Auto Zone.

One of my friends had a couple bad spark plugs and caused similar symptoms that you're describing.
