Did you pull the engine codes during all this?

Opti's are funny, mine took 4 months to throw a code, it would shot off for 1 second on the highway once a week.

You hear the same story about the $130 ones even Cardone.

Thread from 2010 on my MSD:

http://www.corvetteforum.guru/modules ... id=131481#forumpost131481

But this year my 92 wouldn't run above idle after running 2 sessions on the racetrack.
No codes, went there the next day with a trailer and of course, the car started right up and ran fine,

tried it at the house, ran to 235 water temp, let it sit, drove 20 miles, let it idle to 235 again, let it heat soak, drove it again. Nothing, no codes.

So, I can't point a finger at the MSD. The only way to figure this out is to drive the car with a scope attached until it does it again. And I have too many other cars to work on right now.

IMO, the MSD is way better built than the GM but a new opti from GM would probably run another 70K.
