Every car has issues just saying. When you have an issue that has to do with the LT1 wiring / pcm / opti and ignition system and have to figure it out yourself, then you'll get the idea...

All fixed I believe. Got an hours worth of drive time in so far and it's running mint. Better than ever.
I threw my hands up. Was fed up and wanted nothing to do with it. My other half however refused to give up.
After some testing it turned out that the new fuel pressure regulator we put in was defective. It was pouring fuel out of the vaccum nipple through the little plastic line back into the intake and flooding the hell out of it.
Never would have thought it could move that much fuel but apparently lol.
So far so good though and running the best it ever has

Interesting.... That's an odd issue I had not heard of happening... And a Very Hard on to find without real diligence.

Glad to hear it's up and running.

Here's to the LT1 (They will drive you to drink)
