Ok first let's get right to the bad. The car needs an optispark distributor. Anyone who knows anything about these LT1 engines knows that the car can't be trusted to be a daily driver unless this issue is taken care of. There are days where you can drive it with no issues, and others where it will sputter and backfire. I would recommend that you get the car towed or live somewhere close locally if you are interested in it.
Check engine light comes on and I had the code scanned as a bad o2 sensor.
Replaced it, but light still comes on, so I am assuming that the code needs to be cleared electronically. Body is in very good shape for a 1993 vehicle, the only noticeable blemish is a hairline crack in the passenger side fender. Has gray leather interior. Be advised that there are no rear seat belts (was going to do a permanent rear seat delete). The paint could use a good polishing/wax job, but that's to be expected for its age (original paint). Headlight gears are stripped, the headlights work, but do the typical grinding that these 4th gens do. I installed aftemarket halogens to deal with this but the gears are a relatively easy fix (less than $100).
Now to the good. In the past 1000 miles:
-radiator flushed
-Winter's Performance manual fan switch installed (SpeedSpecialty fan switch)
-new catalytic converter
-air filter cleaned/oiled
-oil changed/new oil filter
-new MSD coil
-new o2 sensor
-new battery
-new MSD Cap/Rotor
-new front brake pads
-new electronic flashers
-clear cornered parking lights
-LED taillights and front turn signals
I've done my best to list every issue with this car (good, bad, or ugly) to be as completely honest as possible. If you have any questions or want to come check the car out please email me at rhakeemg@gmail.com or call 203-814-2288, thanks.
