Who tuned it for the rebuild, LE2, etc? 30#/HR sounds small for the injectors, but that would only show up as a problem at WOT over 5,000 RPM, and you indicate it runs fine at WOT.

Sounds like a problem that happens when the PCM goes into closed loop, relying on the feedback from the O2 sensors to manage the A/F ratio. When you go WOT, the PCM once again ignores the O2 sensors. How old are the O2 sensors?

Have you scanned it for codes? Have you discussed the problem with the tuner?

Re: 94 z28 modded having issues with running crappy when warmed up

From what I have read on other people's problems it sound like O2 sensors but Jeff Creech from Carolina auto masters in Durham did the tune and yea it will run like straight garbage but if I give it WOT then it clears up so I'm leaning towards the o2's they aren't old but I can't remember how old might just have to stick some new ones in and try it !?!? Any suggestions on what brand to buy ??

I also did have it scanned for codes an injuneer said that it looked like some codes that got thrown bc of low voltage so I'm not sure if the codes are true or not ? The voltage meter looks to be in the right range when running and doesn't drop of I turn on running lights or the a/c
