Runability problem with my 87
Hi All,
I have a problem with my 87. It has been very cold here in Northern VT.
I have been warming the car up before I drive it. All of a sudden the the car is acting up when I drive away. It idles great but when I get a hundred yards or so it begins to miss and stumble. This continues until I take it back home. The strange thing is that if I don't warm it up it runs fine for any miles I decide to drive. I have experimented with this issue for several starts and stops and it is always the same.
No codes are set.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

Bold man, still rolling the Vette this time of year....
My guess,, how are your injectors doing? I had some injectors that didn't ohm out very well when cold. When they got hot they basically shorted out. ECM would shut a whole bank of cylinders down. I could drive into town but a barely crawled back.
I new set of injectors (FIC) cured that.
