Bad sputter at a standstill
I have a new long block LT1 rated engine with my automatic 4L60E tranny that was just 100% rebuilt. I had a new waterpump installed, new OptiSpark, New plugs and plug wires, new starter, new Radiator about 3 or 4,000 miles ago. The entire coolant system was flushed through the heater core. I had a new fule filter put in.
This is on a 1995 Corvette auto tranny. The engine has about 370 miles on it now. I stopped at the gas station to run in and buy something, about 3 minutes later I came out to start the car. It started ok but when at idle it ran like I was out of gas. Idle speed was about 2-300 RPMs. Let alone putting the car in Reverse or Drive. Once I get going though, you could swear I had just installed a new engine that was fine tuned.
I checked the plug wires and they all seem to be plugged in well, checked all of the vacuum lines and they are all new.
What is going on here???
