95 LT1
initial start, ok. after about 5 minutes, its rough and low, and borderline stallout.

new opti, new coil.

ideas?

 

this car is giving you more probs than you can handle man. Sell that bitch

 

great, thanks for the advice...now help my ass out!!

 

sounds like vacuum leak

get a vacuum gauge and test that mofo!!!

btw don't you have a vacuum line running to the opti on the 95+?

 

guess what...no vac leak...i have tranny fluid in my coolant...that would explain the burning off of my coolant, and my smoke in the exhaust issues i have been having.
damn radiator is a friggin month old too
opti is brand new. hoses are brand new.

dont get me started on everything that is new on this car...ill just start off with what isnt new, that list will be shorter

 

also make sure you didn't cross any plug wires and double check for correct location and tightness

 

I'm not sure how tranny fuild in your coolant will explain smoke in your exhaust or sputtering. However, after getting the problem resolved you should probably get your tranny flushed.

 

Ill sell you my 94 with about the same miles that runs damn good.

 

look for a coupon in the mail or paper for a complete car diagnostic at any car repair place. i usually find them for around $40. take it there, have them tell u everything thats wrong with the car, take it home and fix it.
