Please Help 4500 Stall Out
I have a stock 92 LT1 vette that has only 53000 miles and has been babied but when you accelerate quick and reach about 4500 rpms it stalls out right before shifting like the fuel has been cut off or the spark restricted. I have been told this year did not have a rev limiter.* I have placed in park and I do not get the stalling problem when reving. I have had the fuel filter changed with no luck. I had it in the dealership for them to look at. They tried to tell me that the was an intake leak that was allowing oil down into the distributor. They wanted to replace the distributor and intake gasket. After refusing and returning home for futher investigation there was no such problem - a little dirty but no sign of oil. Any ideas of what is causing this?

I have a 1992 and I can tell you that your car DOES have a rev limiter.
It could be the opti but doesn't sound like it to me. 53000 miles is a little premature for a stock opti to go **** up unless it has been wet via oil or coolant.
