I have a 95 LT1 with long tube headers. The car runs fine, then will die and will not start. After sitting, it'll start right up fine, until it dies again. I went outside to check for spark on a no start, and found the wire loom running down the passenger side was well burned into by the header ( it broke loose from where I had it ). Its the bigger wire loom, not the smaller one ( which is for the O2 sensor anyways). Anyone know what those wires run to? They are burned into pretty damn bad!

 

do a search for shoebox site i think he has some wireing diagrams.

BTW i would say just buy a whole new wirring harness and make sure to tie them out of the way of those headers!

 

Mine got burnt through too, and if I remember correctly, the wires in that loom were for the O2's, Knock Sensor, and either a ground or starter wire, I can't remember, I had to extend my wires out wrap them back up and move them outta the way permently

 

i wouldnt suggest exstending the 02 sensor wire if you dont have to, they are very very sesative and from what i have heard splicing them makes them malfunction.

 

find a write up on how to do this. Cut the wires before the burn and splice longer wires on them, run them along the ac / heater core lines (zip ties) down above the ac compresor to relocate them. You will never have this problem agian.

Thanks guys for the quick responses! I'll be working on it this weekend, and hopefully that'll solve my problems! Much appreciated
