When starting cold, my LT1 runs great, after 30 min of driving it either quits or throves black smoke.
One strange thing, The coolant digital read out bounces fro 170 to 350 and I can hardly keep it running, have to let it cool down and then it's just fine again, sometimes I am Ok for a 20 minute ride, but when I get back into it after sitting awhile the temp digital gauge fluctuates, while the temp gauge is steady,HELP?
First thing I'd check is for over heating faults.. 170 is normal running temp for mine... 220 in traffic when the fan kicks in...at 350 that sounds way to high
It is not overheating, just the digital gauge shows wacky spans from low to high numbers makes the engine growl and throw black smoke, then under loads it won'run at all.
