[WMCC Gary]

you mean this wasnt in the fourth gen forum? i must have really been high on exhaust gas, thats where i swear i put it last night.

Nope you missed it by 1, It was in the 5th gen forum.

I'm with Sean on this. I saw a buddy go through hell with his Silverado a couple years ago after putting Taylor wires on. After a new cap, rotor, plugs, a couple sensors, he finally spent the money for the MSD's and after all that finally got it running right again.

Spend the money and get a set of MSD's, Delco's, anything of decent quality and try em, Between that an plugs I bet it straightens out. It just sounds like them damn Taylor wires too.

Believe me, im ready to try a set of AC Delcos. The problem with getting delco though, is that they wont work with my OTVC harnesses. Ill have rando plug wires running all over the engine bay, but hey, that just might solve the problem.

Just one more thing to throw on the credit card...

Im gonna start with this oxygen sensor problem. Im doing more research right now to make sure the wiring is right (and im not sure about that). There are two signal wires, and niether of them seem to be recieving anything from the wideband controller, i have tried both. My passenger bank just stays a constant 450 while the driver side is fluctuating around 800 like it should. The wideband sensor, and the controllers output are properly calibrated to simulate the signal.

At this point even if its just to troubleshoot and see if it fixes the problem I'd think it would be worth it. Getting running right till you can get something that works better for your wire routing. At least you could drive it. Just my

[JoeliusZ28]

yea i agree Jasen, i am going to. But my computer is telling me that something is wrong with the narrowband sensor for sure, so i know that is part of the problem... at least i think i can assume it wouldnt be running right without proper narrowband signal on one side.

actually, i think ill go buy the set of plug wires now while i am waiting for people to chime in on the tech boards.

AC delcos are 100 bucks

AC delcos are 100 bucks

Holy shit...i think msds are cheaper then that but idk.

there was a MSD sale a week ago, i got brand new 8.5mm wires and NGK t55 plugs fro $61 shipped to my door, not sure if its still going on or not.

99blancoSS on ls1tech will hook you up on msd stuff

[JoeliusZ28]

yea i think i am going to go with MSDs since they are cut to fit. problem is, i cant find anyplace that carries them around here ( i want this fixed now lol)

$61 ??? MSD has the strictest pricing policy in the industry.

Holy shit...i think msds are cheaper then that but idk.

MSD's are $100 also.

Well I just dropped my crappy y-pipe. got a new project now. I lined it up with Jonny's old y-pipe that i had sitting here (much better) and i noticed that it lined right up with the exception of length. So i think i am going to be partially fabbing my own y-pipe this afternoon. Should be interesting, and a fun break from all the problems

You just aren't having a good week, are you?

Oh yeah, since you showed me at the M&G how a LT1 is SUPPOSED to sound, I think I'll wager that my car is faster right now. . . lol j/k

I hope you get everything figured out. Oh, and my first thought when I saw this thread's title was "Holy Crap, Batman's having OptiSpark issues!!
