    Default just a friendly tip if your ls1 is surging and u cant find the problem

    hey guys just thought id post this up here incase anyone has the same problem i did and couldnt figure it out

    i fitted a pod to my ls1, straight away at low revs ( just cruising) the car would feel like it was lightly surging and loosing power but as soon as i would boot it in the guts there was no sign of it, anyway i thought it must of been the pod so i put the airbox back on and no joy so i replaced:
    tps
    iac
    02 sensors
    battery clamps
    plugs/leads
    and still no joy so today id had enough and NEEDED to find the problem, so i opend the bonnet strated the car and wrigled every wire i could to see if something was loose and some thing was, as soon as i wrigled the maf plug the car felt liked it missed so i got out a couple of zip ties and zip tied it right up so it couldnt move and wallah problem solved (biggest head ache of my life) but finally im at peace....untill the next problem arrives

    anyway just thought id let people know this incase they get the same problem and cant figure it out because its worth a try

    cheers
