opti, its always the opti. Even when its not the opti it is the opti.

 

id taken that into consideration.....i just had the opti replaced a fewmonths b4 i put it into hybernation......it also happened b4 my opti change

the service engine soon light flashes fro a econd also btu stores no codes??
anybody?

 

mine does the same
she goes into a ruff idle and dies
ses lite comes on and shows a gazillion codes
she comes rite for a while (month or so)

have ordered a new opti
we will see if it is opti related

 

I actually had this problem about 6 months ago. It ended up being the Thunderracing manual fan switch ( they had their own version and had problems so they ended up just selling the SLP switch)

Anyways i dumped that switch and got the SLP switch and never had it happen again....just a thought

 

Do you lose all the idiot lights and gauges when this happens? If so, it's probably the ignition switch.

 

Is the car down on power in general? Could be that your cats are getting clogged.

 

tthe car does it upon a rapid acceleration and while driving...its only happend 3 times in over a year and a half....some ppl told be things about loose spark plugs and ur battery cable rubbing on somthing and cousing a surge

actually the only light that comes on is the service engine soon light....but it goes off in a split second when i release the gas.....not long enought to store a code i guess b/c i have none getting picked up..

i dont have a fan switch

like i said no codes...idles good....car just does it whenever it feels like it when i decide to romp on it but only a once in a long time...and goes right back to normal as soon as i release the gas

my car has no power loss......it still throws u back in ur seat and acclerates great etc etc..........i will be getting LTs with highflow catted Y so il check on that anyways

strange huh???? anybody else

 

yup did it again kinda surprised.....think it could be a bad injector(s)???....
im gonna get some good injector cleaner and try that for a few weeks and c if thats helps the problem......

i belive my car is ready for a tune up....but im not doinf my wires and plugs till i get my headers....could that be a problem i am experience?

i just dont want this to happen to me when i race or somthing..i got this kid real bad wanting to race me b/c he thinks i wont lol...

 

why did u fit a manual fan switch or was it standard
on your lt1.
and what are the benefits of the fan switch
and were is it located and how do i know if i have one on my stock 95 z28 m6

 

Same thing used to happen to me and it ended up being the Ignition Control Module (ICM). Might wanna check that out. I was trying to goose it to put a ricer in his place and my car just turned off...... The ICM was the culprit. Just my .02. Good luck man.
