Sort of indicates the electrical distribution needs attention. Good that you replaced the battery and alternator but you still have an issue with some power loss, like wiggling wires restores connectivity. Start at the battery, use a wire brush, and some water mixed with baking soda if you see any green or powdery corrosion to dip your battery cable ends in. Usually the wire brush cleans well enough, you want all connections shiny metal to metal contact. Follow both cables and the splices or pigtails to where they connect, like that alternate positive post. The more you can remove, clean, and retighten all the connections you can, the more likely you wont have such gremlins reappear.

Try replacing your fuel pump relay, Its common on chevys.Those fuel pumps are too expensive to keep replacing

Have you checked for vaccume leaks?
You've got lots of parts in there, Has the problem been the reason you have replaced all of those, or did it come up while doing some of the repairs?

I have a no starting problem I replaced the wires,plugs,coils,maf,ignition module,fuel filter,injectors,crank sensor,fuel pump relay,altenator,battery,oil pressure switch,Ecm

Are you getting power to the ignition module? It could be your ignition switch. I once had a 1993 Buick that would die intermittently with no rhyme or reason. Turned out to be the ignition switch. And my daughter has a 1995 Camaro that when you would start it...sometimes it would be a 2 cylinder, sometimes a 4 cylinder, and other times a 6. Still not sure how that one worked, but it was the ignition switch that is located on top of the steering column down by the firewall.

  • What was the reason for changing the plugs,wires,fuel filter and fuel pump ?
  • Was it running good before ?
  • Could be crossed spark plug wires, check to see if they are going to the right plugs
  • Check to see if fuel filter is on the right way
  • Check to see what your fuel pressure is and if it's within specs

1995 chevy caprice LT1 backfiring through air box

Sounds like your car has jumped time. Which means the timing belt has worn teeth. Another possibility is you have an intqke valve not sealing or stuck open. Either way it wouldnt run or run extremly rough

I have a 1995 chevy caprice lt1 motor.. i just changed my spark plug... and for some kinda reason it starts to putter when i drive.. why is that?

easy to crack one, or not get a wire on all the way. have you replaced the wires also?? always good to recheck your work and never throw out the idea you could have got a bad plug

Also do not let tank run low because fuel in tank keeps in tank pump cool. This is why the pump is in the tank.
