Really is a trip owning an LT1
well the dreaded 2kish RPM misfire started a few months ago, and was BAD for a LONG time...that along with a car that didnt want to start sometimes when hot enough, would drain the battery and tick right away upon turning the key..
well over 6 hours of labor into this thing trying to solve the problem.. the MOST time consuming labor being replacing the Plugs/Wires on this car...If youve never worked on an LT1, you probably have no idea of how much a PITA this shit is in the engine bay.
over 6 hours of replacing the plugs and cutting/routing/Zip tying plug wires...the Studder was STILL there...replaced the starter with an LT4 starter...STILL had starting problems (100% working $120 alternator + Red top Optima battery BTW) ...Well I got the code thats been going off randomly pulled today at Advanced auto...and is it the dreaded Opti?!??
....NO... Right o2 Sensor..got home..replace that...and BAM..the misfire seems to be gone :confused
These cars are SERIOUSLY a trip..:punch: .
oh and I think I burnt one of my passenger side Plug wires today...found it resting on the header :durr
heres a few pics of the routing of the passenger side plug wires..
These pics irritate me as I look at them:D...I suddenly feel like swearing more :D
