2002SSBATMOBILE

Hows it goin everybody joined the site for a little bit of input frum the experts just bought a 94 lt1 6spd with a full 2002 ss kit i am in love BUUUT the car is running like **** the car is not giving the power that it should after i pass 3000rpms now ive had another 94 lt1 before so i know these things are fasssst. if i keep a steady foot on the petal ant futher than say 3500rpms i can feel the car sputter a little like its holding back and actually almost for an instant almost feel like a governator. Now dont get me wrong i can red line that little bitch but the only thing i kill is gas no power whatsoever ive had a few people give me different things it can be and so far it is the MAP & O2 SENSORS MAYBE THE MASS AIR FLOW OR MAYBE SOME FAULTY WIRING..?? ANY INPUT

APPRECIATE IN ADVANCE

ALSO HAVE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT.. HAVE TRIED USING THE OBD 1 COMPUTER SCANNER BUT WILL NOT CONNECT WITH MY COMPUTER THEY WONT LINK UP.. I KNOW THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID A SWAP IM THINKING MAYBE HE KEPT THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTER IN THE CAR IS THAT POSSIBLE?? AND WOULD THAT HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON MY PROBLEM..the reason i say this is because my old 94 had the skip shift from 1st to 3rd sometimes this one dosent have that.. now i know there is the skip shift eliminator but i dont think it has it calibrated.. thanx guys

First thing I would check is the fuel pressure.

As for the computer linkup, what are you using for hardware/software?

What scanner are you using to try and read the codes from the PCM?

Does it still have a catalytic converter? Plugged up??

Just what I was thinking, along with the Fuel Pump?

Aye right on you guys for the fast response i checked out the spark plugs today and they were whooped replaced that and the wires and the beast is back you know what i cant call it the beast yet my old 94 would eat ls1's for a snack the plugs got rid of the stutter more power pass 3000rpm but still is not in its prime.. check engine light is still on after i run it for a while. the computer scanner that i was using was an obd1\obd2 scanner i do not know the exact name or who its made by but it was pretty fancy. just was saying something on the screen like cannot make connection?? im wondering what else i can do to bring it back a little more if i can get the computer to scan and tell me what else is wrong

i tell you what the previous owner was cheap as %^&* the car was slammed to the ground.. could not even make it out the driveway,, the car bounced down the road like a lowrider.Come to find out the last owner that had the car cut the springs 2 1/2 rolls!! ON TOP OF THAT HE LEFT THE CUT SPRING STILL IN THE COILOVER! So i just happened to come up the day after i bought the car on front coilovers and rear springs for $50.. major improvment. so far has just been little things that ive been dealing with the rear end whines a little just got royal purple at the 1/4 of the price and gonna replace the fluid thats in there im hoping i dont have to get the rear end replaced?? i checked the oil it was very dirty and thin so im hoping to fix that.. also the reverse at first when i put it in will pop out unless i hold it until it starts moving then its fine? i dont have to put much effort to hold it in it and ive done a little research on google and i hear to flip the reverse syncronizer around and will have fresh teeth.. i dont kno much about trannys what do you guys think?
