Re: 94 lt1 miss

It misses when you are going 40MPH and apply the brake and the throttle at the same time? Not sure why you do that, but does it misfire at any other times? How about when going up a hill in top gear?

Check your plug wires, maybe one is grounding out sometimes.

Check the plugs as well as the wires while you are at it.

Re: 94 lt1 miss

Look under the hood in pitch black. You'll find your problem if its ignition related. U may even have too give it some throttle too see but I went through some of the same issues in july. Everything looked great during the day but at night I. had a lightshow worthy of disney land going on under my hood. M.s.d superconductor 8.5mm wires. Make sure they're routed perfect or they'll burn just like any other wire. Watch the coil closely in the dark as well. I had one arc between the mounting bracket and the coil housing itself.

If your gonna mod your car buy the best wires. If not by cheap autolite or ac/delcowires.

Re: 94 lt1 miss

First start it in the dark. Look for arching. I would get new plugs and plug wires. It's a chore but that's most likely what it is. I just put msd8.5 mm wires on mine. It has long tubes and the install wasn't too hard the second time around. I would go to jegs and het some heat shield boots that go over the plug wires for extra safety

How do you know? lol but ya when your o2 sensor goes bad it will choke your car out. If it gets bad enought it will actually kill it from pouring too much gas into it.
