Hi, i was just on Ebay and found rebuilt Throttle Bodies. the store id is xtreme-fi. does anyone have any comments before i click the buy now button. Any feedback is much appreciated .. thanks

I've done all of that .. it sticks on the throttle body internal flaps (or whatever they are called .. lolll). if you move the throttle directly on the body it self it sticks .. which removes all possibility its the cable or pedal .. i've already lubed it as a first step. i was told that i...

Well i'm back again for a new season after my car and i have been hibernating for the winter .. LOL Have anyone of you ever experienced a stick throttle body? and what have you done to fix it and was it successful? Here is my situation: i start my car .. not a problem .. as it warms up ...

Try the EGR valve, mine was doing the same .. try disconnecting it and putting a screw in the hose .. worked for me .. i will be changing the EGR valve over the winter .. at least it was a temporary fix.

Hi agent 86 .. wouldn't resetting you min idle screw a little cause your engine to idle faster? Secondly, will the sanding cause any miss reading of the sensors or cause any big issues with doing this? when i talked to my mechanic about his .. he said .. don't sand it down .. so .. not sure...

You have all been a great help in the past .. so here goes i have an 85' vette with original trotle body and it sticky. i had my mechanic clean it but find that i sticks right or near idol. when driving i have to keep smacking the gas pedal to get it to return to idol. the warmer the...

hey folks, i changed the O2 sensor with little change. so i have given up and took it to my garage for an Oil change and to replace my gas filter. once that was done i asked him to check what could be causing the stutter. well the conclusion is the EGR valve .. he disconnected the EGR valve...

everything is turned off .. Heater, AIR, fan, radio .. anything you can turn off .. i tried removing my O2 sensor tonight .. but wouldn't come off .. i've put some liquidwrench on it .. will try again later .. Any suggestions on removing it? thanks all for your help and replies.

Here is what the process was. i first changed the sparkplugs with some degree of improvement, then a week or so later changed the distributor cap and rotor with a slightly higher degree of improvement , the third thing was the wires and coil (approx 3 weeks later), huge power impromvemen, it...

Hi folks, me again .. lol i have an 85 L98 with a 4+3. Starts well and runs well, but i having a hard time figuring what might be causing the jerkness when driving at a steady speed (30, 40, 50 m/hr). when i eccelarate (hard) no problems, sometimes when i accelarate softly, she seams to...

Hi Folks, i've just ordered a new filter and gasket for my 85 4+3 tranny. any thing special i should consider before, during or after the oil and filter change? any thing i should look for, any adjustments while the pan is off? Any help would be appreciated .. thanks .. Luc

Thank you all for the advice. i accessed the real light through the license plate. Took the license plate and back up light off. The stuck my arm in and removed the rear lights one by one, side by side. other then leaving light scratches on my arms .. it was pretty painless .. just time...

You can try Zip.com, Corvetteactioncenter.com or Ecklers.com

my cents .. no way man! There is no comparison .. a vette vs a jeep .. the vette wins by a mile .. but then again . i'm a vette man ..

Thanks for the advice .. much appreciated .. Luc
