Might want to include some really basic info.... like - year of car, model, engine, tranny and any major mods. Not everyone wants to watch a video.

That's what the "signature" is for.... why not use it?

98 LS1, Auto. No other mods to speak of. All the plugs and wires are back in as far as i can tell, i took some of them back out to make sure i had put everything in correctly and they were. I also removed the air and egr systems in the install. The only things I touched were the oil stick, removed all the plugs, 2 coils, and the O2 sensors.

I 'd like to help, but I am not the worlds best troubleshooter. Obviously though, you must have disconnected something. Take a good look and I bet you will find it.

i swapped out my headers and had the same problem, mine was caused by the power lead on the back of the alternator was not getting good contact.
