Since you are 96, I believe there is a way to jump your diag port to tell you what if any codes are popping up. I don't know for sure since I never bothered to remember because I have a 94- I think Caleb knows how to do it.

93s are the only LT1s you can check codes by jumpin the ports. scan that ***** and see whats cooking. take it to a shop, LT1 edit or something similar should be able to find something quickly i would think. but idk, i havent personally used them so idk if it can find out things without it running or what. good luck

OK, got the word from the dealership tonight. Not quite what i was expecting. The good news is that it wasn't something i did that screwed her up. Bad news is what did screw up is not cheap. Her fuel pump went out. I'm not going to give you the figure for repair but lets just say the side exiting exaust wont be getting done for a VERY long time now. In fact I'm concidering selling off the dual electric cut-outs to recoup some cost. But alas - at least she'll be running again... in a week or so. -sighs-

dont sale off the dual electric cut-outs! I'll kick you for that one! You have to stay calm....all will be well and you'll have the side exhaust in no time.....really....its true....I'll help ya get there.
Look on the bright side.....at least it wasnt something you screwed up....your skills are great young grasshopper!

It is labor intensive pullin the tank on an F-body since the axle, some of the rear suspension has to come out, the exhaust and heatshield out of the way, and mess with the Evap stuff too, so I can only imagine what a dealer quoted you. I wouldn't be surprised to hear 4 digits...
Sorry to hear, hope you can do allright for now though..

haha. ive been involved in 2 3rd gen fuel pump changes. sadly, i have no knowledge of mine ever being changed, and im proly gonna be having to do that soon, especially if i wanna spray.
BTW good luck with dual exhaust and i might be interested in buying one of the e-cutouts if you think its gonna be a while and the money would help right now.

Fuel pump is now replaced. They say the fuel system has pressure now. Yay!... oh wait... still wont start. I talked to them today and apearantly, i rejoiced i little too soon saying i didnt f anything up. The timeing is off. They think the Opti wasn't installed right. I was very carful with that damn thing but i guess not careful enough. Not sure if the opti is bad or just need ajusting but nonetheless this means more time at the shop and more $$$.
