96 corvette stalls when hot
96 when hot surges and stalls at 2000 rpm. If you catch it before it stalls it will idle. After it stalls it will restart and not stall again entill next day when it goes thru the same cycle. I would like to read opti low res and high res signals. Can this be done on a scanner or do i need an oscilloscope. There are no codes, replaced icm, coil, optispark. map, tps. iac. fuel filter. cleaned throttle body. all four 02 sensors. new battery fuel pressure good and steady during failure.

O scope required to watch Opti resolution pattern. Scanner with snap shot function catching event possibly could show what is dropping out. Alot of new parts all related to this condition?
|
Ok little update got it to fail as usual but this time it was hard to start managed to get a noid light on and i have no injector pulses. Unfortunately problem cleared again before i could check for spark. I wish this would just fail so i could find the cause.

Codes? Opti work different than HEI. Opti sends signal to PCM. PCM then sends signal to ICM for spark. PCM uses only Opti reference for injectors. Crank sensor is more for misfire ID protocol it's used with OBD2.
|
Yep, so the fact that injectors are getting no signal does tend to implicate the Opti. Is the tach signal cratering or going crazy when this happens? That's another sign.
|
No codes that would be to easy. Engine surged bad this time before stall so tach looked like it was following engine rpm.

Full size uses same PCM so used PCM programmed to your car could be reasonable. Collecting Mitsubishi Opti sensors off wrecks could also be worthwhile. Since you are shopping for PCM. When hard to start afterwards what did tach do? IDK I would want to experience hard start atleast one more time with a scanner, before guessing. If Opti just turns off sending no signals, engine just turns off no codes.

Will have access to oscilloscope this weekend to better test signals from opti. Tach seems normal when cranking.

ok ran 96 again today oscilloscope connected at low res signal of opti at the plug on the side of the fuel rail. I did loose signal as engine stalled an had erratic signal or spikes before stall. Also would not restart and i have no noid light signals on both sides. after a few minutes would start and shut down then would start and run like nothing was wrong... learned from previous owner that opti was replaced about 3 months ago its a cardone. ugg Any help?

Get in touch with the optidoctor.

OEM " Mitsubishi" optical sensor can easily be removed from GEN2 Opti. Pick n pull shopping wrecked full size. LT1 cars. Wrecks figuring they were useable prior to crash. The aftermarket housing and bearing will probably be ok.

Replaced opti all works fine now. Optidoctor unit installed.
