Thanks for the info guys. I did find alot of guys having trouble with the vacuum stuff....but it all semed to be related to the car only puting air out in certain places. Mine will put air out in any spot I can get a button to work....so I think Notorious is probably on the right track for my...

I've been poking around searching for a good hour and haven't found any definate answer....so I thought I would make a post and see if anyone has any mirical solutions. I've been having trouble with the buttons on my climate control. They intermitenly fail to work. They always come back to...

To bad you're on the wrong coast...we could make a weekend of it....I went to drive mine this morning and had the pedal go all the way to the floor as well. I've been re-filling the reservior for months - and noting the date and milage when I do so...the milage and dates have been getting closer...

I'm in the midst of replacing my opti. I bought one from GMpartsdirect.com for $391 deliverd to my door. I'm going to add the vent kit that came on '95-'96 and shouldn't have another problem with it after this. I'll keep a close eye on water pump - and never wash the engine !!! I think the...

Just for anyone interested....it was the opti-spark.

Thanks Rabbit - good article.

So I can buy a cap off of a '95 and put it right on a '93 distributor giving me a vacuume hose that I could plum in somewhere. The cap is $100....what is the general consensus on this ? Is it worth it ? Or should I just stick a stock '92-'94 set up on it.

So - tore the optispark out last night...sure enough...junk. A few observations: First - if anyone has any complaints about taking an optispark out of a Vette - go take one out of a trans-am, then you will have something to complain about. I had it out of the Vette and on the bench in an...

I think I'm going to tear into it tonight when I get home....Mine to seems worse when warm - it actually does run allright cold. Who makes the vent kit ??

That would be really cool if it was the Cats - I would sure rather spend money on a new exhaust system than on a distributor...but what about my timing light on the coil lead test - I can see the miss in the light - granted this is at idle - not driving, but it sure seems to point to ignition...

Thanks for the replys so far guys! I did check for codes - the only one was the knocksensors (43 I think it was). And the gal that had the car before me had reciepts for new opti0spark, new water pump, new plugs and wires, front & rear brakes -the list goes on...part of the plus factor to...

62,000 miles. Hmm...cats that is an interesting thought, I've seen a pluged cat criple a big block ford once...but I keep coming back to my timing light on the coil showing a miss - so I really think it is ignition related.

OK - my problem has really elevated...what started out as a heavy lug engine miss and a rough idle is now a barely driveable situation. Anything over a slight throttle load will send it into a missing, stumbling coughing fit. It hasn't stranded me yet, but man - it is not happy at all. Major...

still working on mine...might have it fixed tonight...if the new knock sensor works.

have any rough idle problems ?
