pulled 2 plugs that were all black and dry and wiped the carbon off. think running to rich would cause codes 16,32,42?? also what is the best way to check the wiring and where should i start and what should i be looking for?? also the plugs i have in the car are brand new, no miles on them yet

you have spark coming out of the opti? if the plugs are dry, then maybe your not getting fuel.

If you have a spark, most likely your problem is your cars hydrolocked....take the bottom end out and then squirt some meguires quickwax in the oil pan. Put it all back togather and your set. Thank me later!

by dry i mean the soot is black which i believed are carbon fouled. Also i added a video in my signature of my car and what it was doing before i tried replacing the opti. Sometimes my car would run great for 10 mins before stalling and doing what it does in the video, and other times when i tried to start it it would just go and do exactly whats in the video. also if the car is hydrolocked, why on earth would i need to drop the oil pan and squirt wax into it!? any input would be apreciated ASAP since i have tomorrow off work and have the whole day to work on it.

Okay... I'm new with the LT1 motors but can you 180* the opti? Sorry if this is "digging up an old thread" but I'm interested.
