    Hello
    A couple of questions.
    1. Have you had the electronic engine control computer (ECM) scanned for fault codes or done a code using the check engine light "blink" method?
    2. Has the fuel pressure been monitored at the fuel pressure test port on the top of the engine when the stall out occurs? This is a very important test.

Put a lt1 engine in 1994 caprice it skips and wont hardly go up hills and back fires

Hello! are you using the harness for that year LT1? the fuel air mixture is controled by the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, the Throttle Positioning (TPS) sensor and the Oxygen sensors...When you put your foot in it without O2 sensors there isn't any control over fuel/air mix and ignition advance if the MAP and TPS aren't connected...I'm assuming your using the LT1 ECM...Guru...saailer

I have a 95 caprice lt1 motor how will can tell if i need fuel pump.my car cuts off when i drive it for while or i try to start it after i cut the car off and the engine light comes on and both fan come on

fans coming on is a system check. first have the computer scanned to make sure no codes are set causing this. have fuel pressure checked. check the relay for the pump. not seen many fuel pumps go and stop intermittently usually they freeze and may start once or twice but just die and dont come back. with a pressure gauge connected see if the problem will occur again while the gauge is connected and loss of fuel pressure falls off. hope this helps

I have a 96 caprice 9c1 5.7 when I turn my signals or roll window

Reolace belt, alternator, and volt regulator, and new battery. sounds like your battery is on fumes. You could just try that first, but if it's the other prob., you could damage the battery.

Runs fine for a few

it might be the fuel pressure regulator, i have a similar problem with my 95 302. but mine just dies but starts right back up. i was told fuel may be evaporating out of the fuel lines, when it doesnt start the first try i pump the gas pedal 2-3 times and it starts right up.
