I'm a 23 year old machinist from Georgia, who's fairly new to all this. Last summer I bought a 93 corvette with an lt1 as a project car. I rebuilt the motor and just recently got most of it put back in the car. Learned a lot and am continuing to learn.
Currently the car still needs some work. It runs at a high idle (1700) on startup and smoke comes out the exhuast. Once it gets to temperature the idle comes down to 1200 and it starts running rough. I likely have some vaccum leaks. Which from the idle it would seem to indicate a huge one but I'm really not sure how. As far as i can tell i have every hole pluged or running to something. I also suspect a fueling issue(fuel pressure gauge drops pretty quickly after building pressure).
I datalogged it for the first time last week and am still trying to make sense of that data. From what I do understand, my tps isn't acting right and I have injector error codes for both banks.
This car has been a patience tester for sure. But I've just been taking it slow going one step at a time. Though so far, I eventually figure things out.
