    PKE wiring

    I thought you can get to it through the small hole behind the DIC? I also thought the Chime is velcroed to the PKE receiver, which is why I thought I do not have one since the Chime in mine is bolted to the black plastic behind DIC. Maybe it is different between '93 and '94 models, can somebody...

    PKE wiring

    This is not a very good photo, but I'm still working on the front end, hood needs repainting, all the lights are removed and the front wheel arches needs attaching to the new bumper. Also it is too cold outside to take photos :) I unfortunately discovered The car does not have a PKE module, the...

    PKE wiring

    My fault, I just realised the interior updates and passenger airbag was in '94, that must be why '94 got a different type of PKE module. I will have to look at '94 to '96 PKE modules then.

    PKE wiring

    Hi, does somebody have a wiring diagram for the PKE system? I've got a '94 export model with all the updates from '93, that is new interior, passenger airbag, uprated gearbox, etc. That is everything except PKE. It's got the light in the DIC(with a bulb in), but no fuse or contact in number 26...

    Fog light wiring

    Hi, can somebody please explain the fog light wiring of a 1993? I've opened the switch and found purple, yellow and a lighter yellow/white-ish cables. When I switch the headlight on I get 12v on the yellow/white-ish cable, then if I switch the fog light switch on I get 12v on the purple and...

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    Its not VATS. If the vats doesn't read the key it will do two things. First it wont give signal to the fuel injectors and second it wont enable the starter relay to close, meaning it wont crank. When my key was bad it did crank because the starter relay was bypassed, but there was no fuel. It...

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    Read page 2 and 3, that's about the workings of the ignition module. Did you check the pickup coil, remember everything starts with the pickup coil.

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    Don't think thats the problem, but then again i've been proven wrong many times before. Test the existing harness with ohm meter before spending 77 dollars. If the chewed wire is between the module and pickup coil then yes, but I think your talking of the wires going to the ECM. The ECM got...

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    No, as far as I know if you've got power on the "bat" wire than it must start, or there is a problem within the distributor, which means pickup coil/module/rotor/coil/dist cap. you've replaced two of them, so start looking at the other three. I had a problem on another car once where the rotor...

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    Few more things to check: Take cap off and give engine quick crank, make sure rotor turn. check pick up coil, I havent heard of many going wrong but easy to check. If you've got a service manual like haynes it describes it there, if you don't let me know and i will copy it. You only need a...

    1986 Corvette not charging

    It is worth checking all connections, also the earth from battery to chassis. put a voltmeter directly on alternator and the check voltage with car running, should be 14 but if the dash say 12 i'm pretty sure the alternator is not charging. Earth/ground on mounting bracket. Positive current to...

    Car cranks but doesnt start

    distributor module or battery wire. Don't just check the wire going into the distributor, open the distributor and check it in there to make sure the connection is good. Corvette coils very rarely go wrong, the module on the other hand is another case. Mine had the same problem a couple of...

    Another fuel pressure question

    Starts fine as soon as the pressure goes up again. When hot it cranks for about 2-3 seconds and when cold about 5 seconds.

    Another fuel pressure question

    Hi. When I switch the car to the ON position the fuel pressure goes up to 42psi while the fuel pump is energizing. As soon as the fuel pump switch of again the fuel pressure drop to 22 within 5 seconds. After that it start to drop more slowly. (2psi per minute) What type of valves is there in...
