Still working on the carpet and this happened.   Fresh utility blade is no joke.

Went to car show that was about an hour south of my house this weekend and noticed that the car had some hesitation.  Couldn't put my finger on it at first but then noticed it was when I drove over bumps/holes in the road.  So today I put the laptop on it and logged some driving data.   Here is what I found.  A first I thought it might be an overly sensitive knock sensor retarding the timing.  Thats how most GM engines are setup.   But when I looked at the data I saw the TPS dropping out.  Also see that the TPS is not at 0% when off the gas pedal.  The drop in TPS coincides with the timing drops. 
Next tested the voltage at the sensor and it looked good.  Figured might have a bad TPS and swapped it out with one laying around, same result.  Thought more about the bumps causing the drop outs and started looking at the harness.   BINGO! found a spot were the harness was rubbing on the aluminum head where the cast was sharp and cut through the harness wrap and the wire insulation.  Working on a permanent solution...

Thanks, this is why I love LS swaps.

Fixed wire insulation with dabs of high temp hot glue. Wrapped the harness with some anti-chafe sleeve and then re-wrapped it with harness tape.  Installed $30 in AN6 fuel line fittings to give the little more slack and change the fuel line path away from crowding the harness.  Add a few more zip ties...

Drive back from a car show today was a little wet at times.  I wish I had a rear facing cam, the open wheel roosts were 12ft high.  lol

Found a broken grade 8 1/4-20 that holds the gas tank strap.  Upgraded to 5/16.
