Doesn't GM call you when they have a problem?? I'll wish you luck even though you don't need it. Give me a holler if you need any help setting up the new shop!

Oh crap. Now what
As some of you know my LS3 swap has been delayed for quite a while due to some life issues. It has been in storage now for about 8 months with no attention other than a battery Tender. I sold my 2 post lift and am getting a 4 post very soon. I have my garage now wired and painted ready for the Vette to come home. Went over yesterday to just see if it would fire up. Hit the key fuel pump primed and it fired right up. Ran very rough and died. Started once again and revved it for a few seconds and died. Now it just cranks but no fire. I did not have time to do much but it looks maybe low on fuel but should be enough to run it. Oh well just some more issues. Should be home in a few weeks to get back rolling I this project.

Not to concerned as I know whatever it is I can fix it. Just picked up my new lift today. It's all in the garage but in pieces right now. Getting closer to getting the Vette home.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, but I am sure it is nothing you can't figure out. The good part is that you are getting your vette back and can get back to work on it. Great build, can't wait to see more progress.

Shucks. 1 through 3 have already been called so I guess I'll hang around and watch Gordon end up keeping the car.
As if...
Looking forward to reading what you find was causing the motor to run short before stopping. Glad to hear that the garage is getting set up.
We've got faith in you and that's all that matters.

I am sure that this will work out..
The issue is the car needs love. You left her alone for 8 months and now you are being punished for your bad behavior
My C3 does this too me when I leave her alone for too long
She is a cruel mistress...
good luck
