car stalls once it warms up
I've got a 92 with an LT1. The waterpump put out the optispark so I changed both. Also put in a new belt, spark plug wires, fuel injectors, and fuel pump. It starts and runs when cold but when you floor it, it hesitates at about 80 percent throttle. This gets worse as the car warms up. Then once it's warm it will just stop running. I'll be going down the road and it will stop running for a while and then start up again after 5 or 6 seconds. If it stalls at a light when it first starts acting up I can get it to start by pumping the gas. Then as the engine gets warmer it won't start at all without waiting for something like 15 to 30 minutes. I have a fuel pressure gauge I'm going to hook up to see if I've got fuel pressure but I'm leaning more toward the thought that maybe it's not getting spark like it should. Thanks for any suggestions.
