Replaced ignition module.

I replaced the fuel injectors and the car starts instantly now and has great acceleration! I recommend ACCEL 26 lbs.

Is there a way to adjust the fuel sending unit? I have a 1996 Corvette. I replaced my old sending unit and bought an OEM GM sending unit and its several gallons off. The gas gauge was in Reserve with 1 bar left, I filled up today with 15.5 gallons. So there should be still 4.5 gallons left...

I have a 1996 Corvette LT4 manual with +210K miles, my daily driver car. I have trouble starting Monday mornings typically after it has been sitting just over the weekend since i get home Friday after work. This can take 6-7 long cranks to finally get going. I notice puffs of smoke from the...

Has anyone had their windshield polished? It seems the wipers have left tiny scratches over the last 25 years. I also have tiny pitting. That combination diffuses headlights to almost white out the windshield while driving at night. Sun glare also has the same effect. It becomes really annoying...

I currently have a black 1996 LT4 6-spd that is very near 200,000 miles. It's been a great daily driver for me the past ~18 years, but I just can't keep up with mounting problems and i'm no longer willing to deal with them. I'm looking to upgrade to a C7! Not new, but maybe a 2014-2015. I was...

Driving to work today, tried to pass someone, i hit the gas a little harder than i would normally, I heard a loud POP and the car just died. Dash and electrical still on. I coasted to the side of the road and was towed home. The car is turning over, but it would not restart. Only mod i really...

I got tired of screwing around and ordered another remanufactured alternator online, installed it and its been working perfectly for the past week! It hasn't dropped below 14.3 V under normal / spirited driving. Had the air and lights on too. Its clear the local "rebuild" was a waste of time and...

I have a 1996 LT4 stock. A few weeks ago my alternator locked up and broke my serpentine belt. I had the alternator rebuilt (twice) locally and i'm still having charging issues. To add to the mix of things, i broke the connector to the alternator, got a new one from Pepboys and had to splice...

The chime that alerts you when the headlights are left on when you turn off the ignition does not work. Can someone direct me to a fix? 1996 Corvette. Thanks.

My seat belt cinches down on my lap on bumpy roads without me pressing the cinch button. I have to wait to find a red light or stop sign to undo my seat belt, retract and then reconnect it. Is there another way to undo the cinch or do I need to replace my seat belts? Its really becoming annoying.

No idiot lights on when i started. Jumped 4 to 12 and got C12 with a little 1. underneath. No other codes, it cycled through 9, A and 1.0. I turned off the ASR, gave it a try. Hit the gas, resistance, bog, pop, and then Service Engine light came on. I jumped again, same code C12. Service...

I am having a problem with acceleration bogging down on morning starts. It starts fine, but when i get on the road and hit the gas nothing happens. I push pedal to the floor and get nothing. Car just bogs down. When i try again, the pedal goes down about 1/2 way and i get resistance, with...

My driver side windshield wiper tends to wipe off the outer edge of the windshield. So much, 1/2 the blade it has gotten stuck on the frame and i've had to lower the window and give it a little nudge. Not fun when its raining. During the same trip this is not all the time, some times it is fine...
