Really need some help guys....

My Corvette all of a sudden wont start. I have power and fuel. My mechanic told me that the firing sequence is incorrect. I was wondering if I need to change my computer. Please let me know if someone had a similar problem with there 96 corvette.

Thanks

Advice: Get a diaper. You'll poopie your pants when you hear what that engine wash is going to cost you to replace the Optispark. :eek:

LT1 engine + water = BIGTIME :nono:
