    i believe its the crank sensor cause it seems like its not firing in sync with the coil packs, does anyone know where the crank sensor is located at?

      The crank sensor should be on the driver side toward the rear of the motor just above the oil pan.

          Sounds to me, you should swap a lt1 engine in there so you have the dependability of optispark. LOL

            When my crank sensor went bad it didnt throw any codes. Tach acted all weird, missed, and randomly quit going down the road. Wouldnt usually start afterward either, only after it cooled down. Easy fix, runs about $50 for parts and 10 minutes of your time.

              well i just ordered two new o2 sensors and a nee crank sensor, hopefully that will fix the problem, i had the car running yesterday after i swapped the plugs, the others were toast, but it kept wanting to stall

                well i found the problem, apparently the o2 sensor wired touched the header and melted all the wires together so i unplugged it and now its running good just waiting on the new o2 sensors i ordered, should have them tuesday

                    Good job though you found the problem. Burnt wires always makes things act strange and hard to find sometimes.
