deja Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 After many weeks of pulling wire, adding insulation, wall and ceiling covering and painting the new garage is ready for inhabitation. I still want to treat the floor but other than that I'm almost ready to start my LT1/4L60E swap. So Sunday I decided to get the donor Z28 in position for disassembly. Do you think it would start….NO! I've started this thing at least every two weeks for several months no without issue but now it just spins with no attempt to start at all. Last night I tried spraying starter fluid straight into the throttle body but nothing, not even a stumble. Looks like I may have ignition problems. I guess I'll have to get some buddies to push this thing into the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartman Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 When mine died it was the Opti, but it took me a long time to figure it out. I didn't want to replace it unless I knew it was bad. I wound up getting an Accel unit on eBay and now it works great. Here's some links that may help: http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#opti_test http://www.mainstreamtopics.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78 Of course even though the Opti wound up being the problem, it passed all the Opti tests. Here's my thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115243 I followed that thread and got the test instructions. I remember you passed the test anyway, so I guess the test isn't all that conclusive. I planned on replacing the optispark after I pulled the engine, it would be so much easier then.
