LSX Engine Help
Guys, I have a problem with an '01 LS1 with TSP MS4 cam, and PRC stageI LS6 heads is giving me problems. I can't figure out what the problem is. When I turn the car on, and it worms up, it starts to backfire and the engine vibrates a lot. When I try giving it some gas it just stumbles/hesitates and will only go very slow. The check engine light came on and it's saying something about all the coil packs being bad or something. At first I thought it was the wire touching the headers EGR pipe, so I wrapped both the egr pipe and the wire, and the problem still continues. What can be the problem? Can the coil packs really be all bad?

If this is a new head swap, then you probably have an issue with G107(which provides a ground for the coil packs), behind the left head.

A little more info would be helpful. Is this a fresh install, or was the car running fine, and this just started? There is no EGR on a C5, so I can only assume you mean the AIR...not sure what wiring would be resting on that.

Got The Codes
I finally was able to go out and pull the codes. They're all ignition coil related codes:
-P0351 Ignition Coil A Circuit P0352
-P0352 Ignition Coil B Circuit P0353
-P0353 " " Coil C Circuit P0354
-P0354 " " Coil D Circuit P0355
-P0355 " " Coil E Circuit P0356
-P0356 " " Coil F Circuit P0357
-P0357 " " Coil G Circuit P0358
-P0358 " " Coil H Circuit P0351
I tried turning the car on a couple of minutes ago and it comes on for a second or two, but cuts off immediately.

It actually stopped running now. It use to turn, and stay on before, but now it won't even stay on. It comes on for a second or two and then cuts off right away. I'm going to have to check those fuses, and if that's not the problem I'm going to have to check the wire harness. Does anybody know how many ground wires the coils have and where they're located?
