Ok Captain Planet, obviously OP doesn't want to dump it on the ground or he wouldn't be asking, so let's not take it so seriously. I get rid of my waste fluids through work, surprisingly where I am now just dumps it into the waste oil. Good to see some valid responses.

On the ground

Someone please elaborate on what an iRacing set up is. Sounds interesting.

Because typically a motor fails by slowing down, and a switch gets intermittant and just acts stupid as the contacts wear out and stop making good connection. I'm not saying that's what it is, just that you should check it before you throw parts at it.

You can bypass the switch with jumpers and see if it works (you would need a schematic to show you which wires), or you could pull the door and make sure you get power and ground at the motor for it to work. With your description it could be the switch or the motor, kinda sounds like the switch, just cause it lights up doesn't mean anything.

I would look into things that were popular so there is a strong aftermarket, there are many neat and unique things but if you want to drive it getting parts and easily fixing it would take top priority for me. If you like bigger cars an old Impala comes to mind, things that have a small block chevy would be simple and cheap. You get into anything else and things could be harder to come by or even obsolete depending on what it is. I'm not saying you couldn't do something else but chevy stuff grows on trees, Ford stuff isn't very hard to get, Mopar isn't impossible, and keep in mind that Buick, Olds, and Pontiac are nothing like Chevy of that era.

Lots of good info in this thread. Just because it comes and goes doesn't mean that it's not just something broken, I've seen stranger things. Just don't rule anything out without inspecting. Valve covers are easy to pull off and check pushrods, springs, and rockers. I wouldn't rule out a flexplate but it's pretty hard to inspect, there's a small inspection cover on the bellhousing but even if you pull the starter you won't be able to see the center where it might crack, you would think that would be more consistent but like I said stranger things have happened.

Follow wires out of the unit and make good new connections, I bet if that doesn't fix it then the unit is fucked up. Sounds like stupid loose connections connections to me, most of those idiots use scotch lock shit anyway.

Sure they will, and if they rub they'll clearance themselves. Haha. Hi BStowers remeber me? I'm so past that but it made me laugh.

If it's a wet nitrous kit you don't need injectors. The extra fuel is sprayed through that. So since it has the supporting pump and such it should be good.

Well best place for a dyno tune is a matter of opinion but you can't go wrong with Brian at Dynotune. The gears are not simple, looked into doing to mine and I'd rather exchange the unit with RPM or someone like that to change gear ratio. I'm not sure what the stock 99 injectors are but all LS1 injectors are close so right around 400 wheel is pushing them. That's a nice looking car, nice white over black interior is not easy to find, love the FRC.

Cheap lol. Ls1 intakes were next to free 3-4 years ago, now people get $300. Shits crazy.

From what little I know about oil, 5w30 and 10w30 have basically the same viscosity at operating temp. The 10w wouldn't flow as well on startup. It sounds stupid to me to run 10w30 when it's the same at operating temp and cause more wear on a cold startup. I beleive you should check out bobtheoilguy.com

When I sold a car privately with a lein on it to someone else who was getting a loan, here's how it went down, I met him at his bank, provided all info about my loan, bank issued a check to pay off loan, issued check to me for the equity, and I walked away. Of course this was easier because while he was from Dayton it was all done in state, if dude wants to sell you the car he should be willing to go to the nearest branch of your bank and do paperwork. Most banks that issue a check want the title pretty quick, and the process of paying off a loan and issuing said title takes a lot of time. Besides giving this guy a check to pay off his loan leaves too much up to the individual in my opinion.

So sorry for your loss. There have only been 2 dogs in my life that I just fell in love with, I'm very lucky to have the second. He's my best friend.

Had good luck with Circle D, have heard good things about Yank. Don't think you can go wrong with either, but I had 2 different Circle D converters that did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Thanks to everyone who put it together and showed up, I enjoyed hanging out with the friends I don't see all too often after the weather turns cold.

It wasn't all gone by 7 when I came into work, but it wasn't bad. Michelin Xice for the win.

Planning on making it out, be happy to give Paul shit in person.

Seeing as how I've been a technician and grew up racing so I already had a lot of basic knowledge, that being said I read a few books and Greg Banish's are the best to get and read. Once you can wrap your head around how the computer calculates things and what the difference of a base table and a modifier, and things will start to make sense. Having tuned various GMs and even a Chrysler, the early LS1 computers are easiest to learn.

See that's all I use my iPhone for, works flawlessly.

lol surprising to me I like my iphone. It just does what it's supposed to. Seeing as how I'm not into phones and stupid tech like I'm into cars it's just the Honda of phones.

I will be working that day, but I'm planning on it.

Welcome. Sounds like you need some new toys, a Camry with a subwoofer is not fun at all unless it's your Mom's car and you you put the sub in just to troll her.
