got my car running... then it died again...
 
so i got the new car running today finally...pulled ghe plugs they looked ok, not great but ok. I had fuel going going in... I decided to give it one more crank and it started!!!!

Then driving it down the road and if i tried to goose it, it would sputter. It was surging pretty hard at first but it would cruise when i was easy on the gas. After about 10 mins it started to sputter and smelled like fuel and then died... No more start

Any ideas??

Fuel pump or opti put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Those are my guesses

Matt's car had a problem with the fuel pressure regulator leaking out the vacuum line and flooding the engine, check the vac line to it and make sure you don't smell gas.

fastest fix for a lt1 efi connections 24x kit ya its like 2 grand but that's only like 4 opties so it pays for it self in like what 4-5 years LOL

I'm gonna check the regulator next and see what's up with that. If that doesn't fix it then I gonna have to give it to a shop. I don't trust myself doing the opti... Plus I might as well replace the water pump while it's getting taken off anyway i suppose...

OPTI YES 24X IS LIKE 500. HARD PARTS THEN COIL AND PCM PARTS NEEDED . AND 10 HOURS TO REPIN YOUR HARNES OR BUY A NEW ONE LOLLL

i DID :nanafuck:

its the opti. based on your symptoms and not seeing the car. usually if its fuel related IE (not a bad Fpr dumping fuel into the engine). but a typical bad fpr/no fuel pressure you wont smell fuel. if its ignition you usually smell Tons of fuel. thats my guess. i have seen the coil wire corroded also cause similar issues. as well as a bad coil/ICM i have a spare ICM i just found if you wanna try plugging it in and try it?
