Help, LT1 Swap Problem

Hey, It's up and running but I have a problem. When I go to accelerate the car seems like it's losing electrical power because i'm hearing the chimes that you hear when you first start the car and the car goes dead and the kicks back in. The numb nuts who wired the car did not ground the PCM

. We grounded the PCM and it ran great for a day and now it's doing the same thing except i'm not hearing the chimes. Any ideas ? Thanks

Uh, check to make sure your ground is good? Better yet, check all your grounds. If they forgot to ground the PCM, kinda a no brainer don't you think, then who knows what else they forgot to ground out? Just a thought. I'm not a genius on wiring but at least I know to ground the PCM.....gotta love shoddy worksmanship. good luck
