This is likely a giant shot in the dark, but I thought I would try telling my problems here. I've posted at every other LS1 message board, including LS1tech.com which I was sure would help me out, but to no avail.

The LS1 was running great in the 94 Camaro, until randomly, one day these problems occured.

Symptoms:
- Car will barely start, most of the time afterfires and shoots flames out the exhaust, but wont start up. Sometimes it will not start after 10 minutes of trying, sometimes it will fire right up.

- Tachometer doesn't work (it used to). When you turn they key on, the tach will move up a milimeter from the bottom and sit the entire time.

- *FIXED* Speedometer thinks you are moving. When I let the clutch out after starting the engine, with the tranny in neutral, the speedo goes up to 10 mph. If you rev the engine, it goes up thinking you are moving.

Things we've tried/checked:
- Ground wires on each side of the dash, and by the drivers seat are all good
- Main engine ground strap good
- Smaller 2 grounds on each side of the engine bay are good
- Every fuse inside engine bay and inside cab are good
- Unplugged and plugged back in all transmission wiring connectors
- Unplugged and plugged back in the 3 front and rear ABS sensors
- Unplugged and plugged back in ABS module connector
- Installed new crank position sensor
- Installed new cam position sensor
- Gone through every connector in the entire harness of the car

On LS1tech and everywhere else I received lame responses like (you've got your speedo plugged into your tach!) I don't know anyone else who has transplanted an entire drivetrain into another car and used the stock wiring harness. Seems like most transplants end up with a Painless harness or something else.

At any rate, the blasted car is ready to run... if it would just run. Everything else on the car is ready to let it move and drive!

Unplugged the MAF and it still had trouble starting up. Still no tach, still running a bit rough.

The still running rough is what has me bothered. Beside the hard starting. Cricket you have a vac gauge available.

Now this is a rant. I've worked on repairing cars for yrs. There are certain thing I do that others do also. Im not a 'Parts Replacer', I find the problem through diagnosis and fix it. I try to help people as much as I can, This Particular community(Frrax) I will go out of my way, when I can help someone. But when trying to help someone there are cetain things that should of been checked long ago before it got to this point. Then someone has to go to the internet. Do this, hit or miss info, replace this or replace that. Most professional's wont touch, do internet diagonsis for some of above said reason. I assume basic info has been looked at and it has not. There are lot of variable's invloved here. Cricket if you want my help and of others you have to answer question's about certain things. I don't mind helping you but you have to answer questions that were asked. Let me know how you made out today. John
