firstly, might have better luck in "forced induction" or "general maintainence"

if the CAS isn't sending a signal, the computer won't know when to spark. so there is some logic in what the racq was saying. it definantly won't be coil packs, because usually you get only one cylinder misfiring. I would suggest ignition module or cas.

see if the computer is reporting any fault codes. There should be a tech article / faq on how to check for error codes.

had similar problem with my 33gtr.... cas has two outputs one spark and the other for injector... we had spark but no injector pulse so i didnt even think of checking the cas.. 2 days passed trying to sort out this problem myself till we called in autosparky and fixed it in 1/2 hour... just hooked up his scan tool and we realised no output on the injector side......

I hate cas issues.

In my old vlt's, i had a few cas's fail, after driving for a while the engine heat would get to it and make the car cut out, leave it for 15 min's then it would drive ok for another 5 mins, then cut out, just went on and on

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
