Skipper | 96 LT1 that cuts off and then hard starts | ||

I have a 96 Corvette with a LT1 in it. I'm having a problem that I can not seem to figure out. The SES light came on the other day and shortly after that the car started cutting out every once in a while it's like the gas pedal goes dead and then just picks back up and runs fine. Then at idle it will surge up to about 1200 or 1300 rpm and run rough and it has cut off three times now. When it cuts off like that it is hard to restart it's like it's not getting gas or spark one of the two. More like no spark because when it does start it has a strong gas smoke smell. HELP PLEASE.

I am betting money you have a bad coolant temp sensor.
Next time you start the car, flip the gauges to the coolant temp display and then watch. If it spazes out, you have your answer. The coolant sensor is on the waterpump and feeds vital temp data back to the PCM. Otherwise, take the car to Autozone and they will read the codes for free. Don't buy anything until you run it by us. This is not a coil related problem. If anything, it might be a bad connector on the ignition module, but they redid them for 1996 to make them more reliable. |
