I tried to "clean and rebuild" a delco opti when I first started messing with my car years ago. It started but would barely idle and it wouldn't rev past about 3000 rpm. Put on a new delco and it fired up, idled good and ran great. I never got any codes with the bad opti. So I guess it's possible to have a bad one and not know it. I know when I had arcing delco wires and it was way down on power on the dyno it seemed to run and drive fine. After seeing the lower than expected power level I checked and found 2 wires arcing, new wires and it felt like a whole new car. Hopefully a new opti will fix your issues. Does your opti have a warranty? If so warranty it, if not I think most will agree a delco is the way to go.

The advance one has a lifetime warranty, but not sure if I want to go with it again.
Might have to change opti again. I can still get a full refund on the opti I have now, and I found a place that will sell me ACdelco's for $380. Not much more then the one I paid for.

I will strip you of your LT1 card if you put another POS opti on that car. You can throw shit parts at it until it looks like you have hail damage, but at the end of the day you are wasting a ton of money. Just do it right and be done.
