Bad stall?

[98formy]

I did up a heads/cam lt1 a while ago. Before the stall, it seemed to have a lot of power, then the stall went in, turned into a dog and could barely spin the tires. Its a yank 3600. I know the knock sensors are being tripped to 5 degrees and they are going to be turned off when its getting tuned tonight because of false knock. anyone else ever had an issue like this?

[Sleeper101]

is it just from a Stop or from a roll also?

[98formy]

Both

[Sleeper101]

sounds more like a possible tune issue, But Im sure a stall could be bad. Get the car tuned, then if it still has no power go back to the stock converter to confirm its a converter problem.

[98formy]

Yeah, that so far is the plan, I hope it is in the tune because tearing out the trans sucks, especially doing it more than once.

[Sleeper101]

Ya no kidding, Is it a New stall or used?

[98formy]

brand new from yank

[Sleeper101]

Have you done any other transmission upgrades?

[98formy]

except the shift kit, no, and that was a long time ago.

possible that your clutches are starting to slip

Problem found. Somehow, when I put the dipstick tube back in, on top I must have bumped the #8 injector connector and it came off. Runs like a raped ape now, only prob is that he cracked the flex plate so I have pull the trans again, dang it anyways, but that car is so much fun to drive now, well, after the new flex plate.

[Sleeper101]

Awesome!! I guess its hard to run on 7cyl LOL

[98formy]

Its funny, it took driving it like that for 250 miles to throw a code that the #8 injector was not reading.

[Sleeper101]

Did the car not have a miss? looks like that would have been a dead clue.

[98formy]

It ran a little rough at idle, but no noticeable miss. Thats why I was stumped and blamed the stall.

[Sleeper101]

HAHA, Well at least that was an easier fix. Too bad for the Flex plate tho!! It was a loose situation.

[98formy]

This car has become the bane of my existance. Get it fixed, works great, get to the dyno, one pull and the opti takes a dump. I hate lt1's.

I'm completely confused by that. You have a 98 right? No LT-1 or opti. Did I miss something?

Do yourself a huge favor, and purchase a TCI SF29 flexplate, Jeg's and Summitt carry them, it will be the last flexplate your vehicle ever needs.

Thats what he got, already put in and running strong....so far.
