Yup all the fuses under the hood are good. Double checked the distribution block too.
Tomorrow I'm gonna grab a multi meter and a noid light and do a full on diagnostic. Wish me luck :)

Update, had the chance today to work on the car, and yup, bad opti!

Special thanks to mike for the hookup on a lightly used msd opti. Got it in, problem solved. Back to laying 200ft posi shots smoother than ever lol.

Mike, you are the man, thank you very much again!

KICK ASSS!!!!!!! Glad to hear it all worked out for yah!!!!!!

Or not WTF!!!
Just tried taking it to work after running around some this afternoon and it's stalling again. Only restarts after a minute or two and only foot to the floor. Idles really rough and you can only get a quarter mile or so before it stalls again. DAMMIT!!!

I'm ready to pull my hair out here. Now what?!?

have you checked fuel pressure threw all of this? thats shitty!!!

Formula413 03-17-2010 12:37 AM

+1 on the fuel pressure, or could it be the coil getting hot? On shoebox there's a writeup for a mod to move the coil about 1/4" off the head to keep it from getting hot and cauing misfires. But check fuel pressure first, should be like 45 PSI key on engine off after priming, and around 40 running.

43.5 running or not is what an LT1 needs to run properly.

and the coil thing only applys to an old ass beat up coil. And it wasnt really coil as much as the module would heat up and open up on the out put side.

he has a Brand New module and Coil on there. not the problem. new opti rule that out. its either fuel or an ECM ground/power lead.

Yeah, gonna check fuel pressure tomorrow, along with everything else all of her random internet searches turn up. I'm running out of ideas and am starting to get really frustrated.
Fuel pressure should be good I hope, it's a brand new walboro 255 in there :p

Could be the pump, I've seen a lot of walbro pumps going bad.
