ls1 swap problems
i have a 97 camaro was an lt1 car. bought it off a guy who swapped an ls1 into it.. has heads cam intake injectors high compression pistons long tube headers 3 inch exhaust built trans and suspension. the car runs really strong. very very fast. but sometimes my check engine light comes on, occasionally when it does i have only 2nd and 3rd gear. it wont go into first or overdrive. the tack dosent work when the car is running..but when i crank the car over to start it it works until the car fires up...and sometimes the car is hard to start after an hour or two of running..you crank it and if it dont fire up i have to turn the key off and try again and then it fires right up.. has a 98ls1 computer...this is my first ls1 car does anybody have an idea of what can be going on? when i plugged a scanner it said unable to read codes..the car was tuned before and ran fine until this problem started. i bought the car with this problem..any ideas?

not yet. i tried with a normal hand held. my stap father has a shop tomorrow im going to bring the car over there and hook it up to the modis and see if that will give me anything. and its weird because if it has the check engine light and i shut the car down and start it back up sometimes it clears on its own. other times it wont. and the tach works when i crank the car but stops working the moment it fires up its a factory tach..what sends the signal for the tach on these cars?
i havent done much research yet.. just seein if anyone else had a issue like this so i can get this thing running the right way asap

i can try but i dont know how well the car will run without the tune. its got a big cam in it high compression pistons and injectors as well. so i know without the tune its going to be extremely lean i dont want to do any damage to it
