Hello,
It's been a while since I've been on the forum. I've had very good luck the vette over the last few years now with about 70k on it.
Anyway down to the issue. Driving along today with the wife and the vette just stops...like the ignition was turned off while driving. Pulled over and the car would not start but it was turning over. After I pushed it into the shade I tried starting it one more time and bam its running. Running, but rough as hell. Well it didn't last a block and down it went again and would not start from that point on. Had it towed back to the house.
Need some assistance troubleshooting this problem. It will turnover just fine but it’s almost like it’s out of gas which it is not. My first thought was the darn opti-Spark has reached the end of its life. Did not recently wash of get the car wet at all. In fact if its going to rain I don’t even bother driving.
Thoughts?
1996 Black Vette with 70k. All original with the exception of the mufflers and the rims.
Thanks,
MCNE
