LT1 problems
 

i don't know if its the tranny, opti, or whatever, im new to the LT1 thing , and my problem is when i floor it, the car wont shift, but also the car is hesitant on start up. it has the 4l60e and yeah, anyone ever encounter this?

if it's not shifting check the tranny fluid level...that's a transmission problem

car is hesitant on start-up? any other details? i'd scan the codes and go from there

when i turn the key, the car will start to turn over after about 3 seconds ill stop turning the key, and then it will fire right up after i turn the key again , tranny fluid is brown when i checked it, i guess im going to have to change that sometime soon.

Def sounds like an Opti problem. I had a similiar problem before I started work on my car, and once there was a new Opti, plugs, wires, and blaster coil it started on one turn of the key.

Brown? That's not good. Sounds like it definetly has something to do with your problem.

and now the fans wont kick on at the right time, today is not my day

How many miles on this car?

150,000 miles on the car, im pretty sure im just gonna part it out, too many problems exist

as far as the starting problem, can you hear the fuel pump prime if you jsut turn the key to the run position without starting the car? GMN has a history of using pumps that the anti-drain backs go bad in. so basically it will jsut hold fuel in the line, but not at any pressure.
turn the key to the run position, count to 5, then start the car. if it is jsut the drain back on the pump that should solve it.

so instead of fixing a problem, the car will be parted out? ooo...k

If thats the stock opti, and it lasted 150,000 miles, im amazed. usually 120k is pushing the life of the opti

sounds like my usual reasoning, hehe

if you wanna get ride of the car let me know.
