C4 Performance/Tech Issue
Good evening all-
I've got a 1995 LT1 and as of lately I've noticed a bit of a "jerk" while driving around 60 mph and under. I've also noticed that the acceleration isn't as powerful as it was over the past couple of months and it feels as if the car is lagging. All parts are original minus the fuel sender and fuel pump, and it has a little over 37.5k miles. Any suggestions as to what the problem could be??
Thanks in advance!!

Spark Plugs, ignition wire. Distributor Cap and Rotor.
You have a LT-1 and the ignition wires are not all that pleasant to replace If you want them routed exactly as GM did originally.
And install a new Fuel Filter.
Is the check engine light on your car ?

Thanks for the response!
So far the check engine light isn't on, but I figured I could take it in to Chevy for a diagnostics. It is about time for an overall tune - the car sat idle for a little over 4 years. I just recently got it back to "drive" status, so I'm sure it needs just a little more TLC. All of your suggestions were helpful, and I'll definitely start looking into parts and possibly get the work going ASAP. Many thanks!!

Make sure to check the water pump closely on your LT-1 engine to be sure its not seeping or leaking coolant.
The Opti-Spark Distributor is located right below the LT-1 Water Pump.
Water or coolant dripping on the Opti-Spark is not an ideal situation. Leads to Ignition misfires and eventual Failure of the Opti Distributor.

They are worth every penny extra for long term Reliabilty and care free driving in Your Corvette.
