Common Problems...

Okay--I hate to ask this since I know you all probably get asked this about once a month, but I couldn't find it in a search ---- what are the most common mechanical problems to look for in a 4th-gen f-body...? I once heard about some injection or ignition solenoid thing (LT-1s...?) that is common and shuts 'em down, and I 've also been seeing a lot of rebuilt automatics in cars for sale, but if someone can give me a more complete list, I'd really appreciate it.

I've wanted a convertible since they came out in '95, and now that prices of original owner cars are so low here in L.A. (coming down a LOT more now with gas prices are up...), it's time for me to BUY...!

Thanks...

Actually, I just found many LS-1 issues on this thread ---http://mymail01.mail.lycos.com/scripts/common/frontpage.main?sg=0&.ob=d1b128cf0e1af516348e7a7490 e8c7eddc291472 ---

but if any of you would like to add to these problems (especially if you have a higher-mileage car), and if any of you have LT-1s and would like to list THER problems, it would be great. Thanks again...
