I had the same problem. It could be that your spark plugs are wet with gas or that your coil is weak.
AnswerIf I'm reading that right your saying that it will run if you keep your foot on the gas I'm not real firmilar with that motor but it likely has a idle control sensor to keep the car idle it might be the problem or you idle might be off.Wiki User

94 z28 camaro with a 5.7 liter 350 lt1 and it has the 460le auto trans recently purchased sat for a year in a garage this car has no power poor acceleration any ideas?
The problem could be your optispark distributor. They have a tendency to corrode inside and when this happens, it hinders the performance to the point that acceleration is greatly hampered. A bad optispark will also cause starting issues and engine misfires. Besides the optispark, check for a vacuum leak. Intake manifold leaks are very common on the LT1, as well as valve cover gasket leaks.

Does a 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 have a distributor?
Yes, it is located behind the balancer, all the plug wires lead to it. The distributor for all 92-97 Camaros, Firebirds, and Corvettes with the 5.7L LT1 motor is called an Optispark distributor, unlike most conventional ignition distributor designs, the optispark design uses an optical sensor and a trigger disc to send the ECM a high and low pulse signal. Located directly under the waterpump, the optispark dose require a fair amount of labor for removal. There are many options available for LT1 owners when it comes to replacing their malfunctioning Optisparks.

Does a 95 Z-28 Camaro have a crank sensor?
No, it does not have a crank sensor. the optispark (distributor) does the job that a crank and cam sensor would do for that model of Camaro. they added one for sure in 1997 I know that because I have had a 93 94 95 and 97 Camaro z28 not sure if 96 has one or not I haven't had one of those to work on but they are real easy to find on the models that have them they are located at the bottom of the timing cover and have a 3/8 bolt that holds them in.
