Default Need Help!!!! Can't Figure it Out!

My 95 LT1 is having issues. It is having hestitation issues, almost feels like a hiccup and it throws the check engine light runs rough and then light goes off and it is fine again. It can happen anytime, city street, downshifting, highway almost everywhere. So I pulled the codes manually and I got a bunch of 13 and a couple 14 & 15's. So I replaced both the upstream O2 sensors and gues what, the same **** is happening. So we cleared the codes after replacing the sensors and so I pulled them again today and guess what the 3 same codes. A lot more 14 & 15's but a lot of 13's too. What am I missing. I'm about ready to drive it off a cliff. I need help with this one. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Just had the fuel pump and fuel filter replaced last weekend. Fuel pressure is up over 50.

That would be fantastic but not thinking it is going to make it that far right now. It is pissed off. Maybe if your out this way you could stop by and scan it. I pulled the codes manually put I know the scanner can do more. Let me know

Just replaced both O2 sensors yesterday with new AC Delco parts because it had over 75 13 codes in ECM. Cleared codes after replacement gave ECM time to relearn and still throwing code 13 along with 14 & 15. Car not hot and not cold. Can't figure it out. Going crazy with it.............

I'd have a look at the maf sensor, see if it needs to be cleaned. K&N air filters can cause the maf to get coated in oil. Do you have a K&N?
I had a car (not a vette) that I was checking that had a weird code not related to the maf, it had a tps code. The problem was the maf was installed backwards. I'm not saying thats your problem, just the hesitation you get could be a dirty maf sensor throwing weird codes.

thank you and I will check that. The MAP Sensor has been in the back of my mind as a possible problem.

Tried hooking up a OBD I scanner and it is unable to read the port. Also was a little low on coolant brought up to level and now stuck again.

The 94 and 95 Vette's have an OBDII Diagnostic connector but are not OBDII compliant.

To enter diagnostic mode.
Short pin 12 to pin 4 or 5.

Turn ignition on. Do not start the engine.

Connector located above driver side right knee and pin out looks like below.

01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08
09,10,11,12,13,14,15,16

After turning the ignition on the CCM will display
any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) and the module for which they apply in an automatic sequence.

CCM=Module 1
PCM=Module 4
ABS/TCS EBTCM is Module 9
DERM (Airbag) is Module A

Each DTC is displayed for 3 seconds followed by a one second pause before the next DTC is displayed.

There is a three second pause between the DTC display sequence for each module.

The end of the DTC list for each module is indicated by
"----" being displayed in the speedometer.

If there is a communications problem between the CCM and the other modules, "Err" is displayed.

The particular module being interrogated is indicated on the trip monitor, and the DTC's are displayed in the speedometer.

Check out the wiring, grounds, connectors and pin connections for corrosion for the temp sensor (ECT) in the water pump.

While you're driving, monitor the digital temperature for any erratic or off the wall quick indications especially when the engine acts up. It might give you a clue if you see a reaction.

Should be a bleed valve on your thermostat. Get the front end higher than the rear somehow in your driveway pull the rad caps off and let it run and help burp the air out of the system then top it off again. It will run warm with air trapped in there could trigger those codes if its low again.

I did not see whether you replaced the coolant temp sensor. If not, I would first check the temp sensor connector and wiring and if that is good, I would replace the coolant temp sensor in the water pump (after checking coolant level as per Cuisinartvette),

Think its money well spent that thing can causeall types of wacky issues that are hard to track.

Tell your mech or whoever does it not to get the ign wet

Guys...how easy is this one to get to?
If it doesnt involve surgery perhaps I could knock it out quick
