Well its in and running.....sort of.

First few starts it would surge a lot and usually die unless I kept it running. My friend came by on his lunch break and plugged in his diagnostic tool real quick. It showed MAF failed, TCC solenoid failed, and something else I forgot. After a while I guess the computer learned because it would mostly idle on its own but die every once in a while. I was real excited because the cam sounded awesome especially on open long tube headers lol. I started taking video and about 11 secs in it died. It didnt spit and sputter or surge or cough or anything just died like the ignition was cut. Now it wont start at all just crank over. It has fuel pressure at the rail but I cant see spark on the plug wire. My friend from the dealer told me to pull a plug wire off the coil and try to see some spark the old fashioned way but I couldnt get it too. It seems to me that pulling the plug far enough off the coil to see it spark would be too far for the spark to jump? I think this is a minor problem that can be fixed once we plug the diagnostic tool back in later. Here is the vid I was taking when it just died.



Now, the REALLY BAD NEWS. When I went to put it on the lift I tried to back it up to get it aligned on the lift and it wouldnt move itself. It doesnt go into any gear. When the selector is in any position besides PARK it acts like neutral. Unless, you guys have other ideas, Im guess there is something seriously broken in the trans. I dont know what to do about it yet but Im guessing Ill have to have the whole trans rebuilt. Hopefully its something minor not hooked up right for the shift linkage inside the transmission.

Can anyone help? Ive been awake for about 24 hrs so Im going to bed and then get up about 8ish and go back over there with my buddy who did my wiring/has a diagnostic tool/is a GM tech to see what we can figure out.

BTW, here are some more pics of parts and stuff if anyone is still interested.
