Agreed, that answer's a bit hard to decipher. Perhaps someone can clarify for you, good luck on your project!

I would start by checking CL or another reputable source for an LS1 or LS9 and swap the engine. Not only would it fix the issue you are having, but you can safely run the car through that car wash again without fear of coming out with only 4 cylinders again. You'd be right back where you initially started before this occurred.

Guess y’all s not hip to da lingo, man.

I saw no mention of diagnostics so my new acronym introduced earlier this week...

DYPTDTC, pronounced “dipty ditzy”, shorthand for “Did You Pull The Diagnostic Trouble Codes?”
