Exclamation LT1 Lacking power???

my 94 camaro z28 A4 is lacking power,

from a dead stop i can stomp on it and SOMETIMES it will roast em,
others it just picks up no wheel spin and goes, but it still takes off like a bat out of hell like a normal LT1,

but my Power off the line is really weak,

but other times, (for example)

i was at my ex's visting her father seeing how he was (still have a great relationship with her dad)

i left in a hurry pissed as we all know how exs **** us off, so i stomped on it and it smoked the tires and put me sideways, then after that wouldnt go over 40 with it to the floor untill after i shut the car off then started it back?

i know when i took off my trans mount nut was alittle loose so my trans jumped and hit my floor board, HARD..... (ive since tightend that up and put a lock washer on it)

but when im on the freeway i can punch this car and it will take a sec for the throttle to catch up and it shoots off,

my SES light came on and i took it to an auto parts store to have it scanned,

11 codes came up, but the guy screwed up and turned the scanner off and only got 1 code out of it before doing that,

it was high voltage to map 33 if im thinking right....

he tried to rescan it and it wouldnt connect to my pcm (i think he pissed it off XD)

but heres what my car does while driving,

start it up, no SES light, 5 miles down the road or so SES light pops on and doesnt turn off till i shut the car down,,

i can start it right up again and itll have no SES light on,... so im clueless as to if i should replace my map, the clip on my connector is broken (typical of these LT's)

any input is apreciated guys,

Re: LT1 Lacking power???

I'd try and get the list of those codes first and go from there..have you checked your plugs and wires? Maybe a fuel issue check the fuel pressure..Inspect the harness on the opti..
