Sorry guys, im not a handy tech guy like you all seem, and doing this job myself is out of my league by a long stretch. The references to Ohm's do confuse me. I have a good rapport with my garage in town but they have not worked on an LT5 before. I'm really not sure where to turn next as I brought the car to the garage and had the fuel filter replaced, the throttle body cleaned, and some injector cleaner placed in the tank. They thought if I drove it for a bit it would correct the problem. I took it out for a drive but as the weather has been crap have not had an opportunity to really drive it. I can hear the vaccuum pump running for several seconds when I turn the key to the accessory position, so that would not appear to be the problem.
Not sure if I want to invest $1400 for a set of 8 secondaries plus however long it takes the garage to install it without knowing for sure thats my problem with the car. With everything I read on this board I am confident the secondaries are my problem, but just not 100% sure.
Thanks for any input you guys have.

I had similar problems with both my 1990s. Was bad secondary injectors caused by the E10 in gas.
FWIW, I bought a set of 16 injectors from Jon Banner (Fuel Injector Connection) for under $400.

Replaced them myself. I am definately not a tech guy. This was the first time I ever tried to do a repair such as this. If you use the instructions here on the registry and have a new set of primary o-rings and a spare set of plenum gaskets from Jerry's gaskets the job isn't that difficult.

Just make sure to drain the coolant down enough and use the procedure to refill coolant. This is probabily the most difficult part.
