My husbands 94 vette had that same problem and his was the alternator. Have you check that out? If you still have problems my suggestion would be to take it to a chevy dealer and have it checked.

"msd 6a ignition box - mds blaster coil"

WHEN you get your mechanic to run an engine diagnostics on it..the before mentioned is what I would point my finger at if I were a guessing man.
Good luck!

1. STOP YELLING!

2. Bashing longtime members is not a good start, especially if you want help. Happy floundering. :rolleyes:

Is your fuel pump working? When you turn the key to the 1st position you should be able to hear it running. To check fuel pressure you have a schrader valve around the fuel rail. On my L98 it's on the right side towards the back.

Check a few things before you go further. Is it getting spark? Test it the old fashioned way - hold a plug wire about a 1/2 inch away from the block. Have some on crank the engine. Do you see (or feel if not wearing gloves) a spark? Next would be fuel. Do you hear the pump pressurize the system when you turn the ignition switch to on? Battery and/or Alt will make it do some strange things. Check these also. Lots of stuff to check. Get back to us with what you find.
