[QUOTE="HLN A55, post: 16170, member: 46"] It could be a number of things. I had the same thing (or similar) with my L98 trans am (89). My head gasket was determined to be leaking by a local dealership. When I got the car back it had almost no power, barely ran and started also. After gettIng my car to a different dealer, turned out that the motor was history. I got the oil sent away and it was contaminated. Most likely from the wire brush that he used to clean the surface of the engine block where the head gasket seats. This caused the main bearings to salute and exit stage left. By the time I got the car back they had obviously had to have the car running to move it and top up the antifreeze etc and it was done. I hope yours is a vaccum leak, mass air flow sensor or fuel issue but there is always the chance I suppose. [/QUOTE]
