I need to replace the vacuum hose between the E4ME carb fuel vent and the canister; it is very rotten. Have not been able to get the hose off of the canister; there is some type of collar or something to the smaller diameter hose above the connection. Looks like the smaller hose is beginning...

Nope.

NEVER MIND.....figured them out. I had actually cut the wires to the EGR relay. Do not understand why I would have cut them, but I did.

Hello, Need help to ID some cut wires in the engine bay. The location is just below the bracket where the vacuum sensor (MAP) attaches to the firewall, best location diagram is in the manual, fig 8A-91. I have three cut wires: dark green, brown, and black....and am trying to determine what...

I know that the coolant temp sensor, the one in the intake manifold is available with a "pigtail." And I believe the coolant temp sensor in the left head is also available, not 100% on that one as I have not replaced it like I have the other one. Good luck. LannyL81

I cleaned and painted the hinges and shims....keeping them together as one side had two shims, other side had three shims. Anyways according to the responses I received on the Corvette Forum all I need to use is body seam sealer to keep water out of the interior. So I have purchased a tube of...

I am in the process of re-assembling the car after painting and am ready to begin on the doors; the assembly manual calls-out an adhesive be applied to the area between the body and hinge shims and hinge.......what did you use when you rebuilt your car? Or if anyone else has a...

The ECM works fine as far as flashing the Check Engine Lite...no problems at all. I think it would be quite nice to have the ECM "talk" to a PC and then able to display the data in real-time. Of course the only data that I think there is the mixture control solenoid dwell and then the Check...

Okay....got some ideas now....look for other GM 81 - 85 cars....but where should I look for the ALDC connector in these other cars? Did GM put the connector in only one or two places? I really do not want to go crawling all over the interiors of some of these cars in the U-Pull-It Lot!!! Have...

There is a bit of oil in the pressure sensor...but very little. Try taking an ohm reading across the terminals of the oil pressure sensor; does it show an open or a short? If not, then take another reading with the engine running. If the same as with the engine off, then very likely the...

I did not know that it was in '82 that the ALDL connector changed; was this for all GM cars or just the Corvette? If all GM cars changed....wow....it is going to have to be a Corvette salvage yard in order for me to a replacement connector....probably along with the associated Corvette Tax...

Does anyone happen to know where I can get a replacement ALDL connector from? I actually just need the connector body itself as the one in the car has torn-up mounting ears. I have checked several Corvette parts vendors, but so far no luck. Have thought about checking-out my local U-Pull-It...

Corvette Central offers a true dual kit that replaces the entire stock system. The smog equipment would all hook-up except for the air line that goes to the cat. This would not effect the smog equipment operation or anything, but it would not pass a visable inspection unless the inspector did...

Put the EMC into diagnostic mode, does it flash code 12? If not go through flowchart #5 or #6 in the Service Manual and perhaps this will tell you something.

Sure worth a call to Contemporary Corvettes and ask them; will have to do a search to find others....CC is only one I know of and have done business with in the past.
