    Help! reduced engine power

    Sounds like the problem that I had. It was the plug for the bundle off wires in the passenger door. Male female connector was bad and I had the same codes. Open the door and move the bundle around and you can figure it out.

    News: Wow, the difference a set of tires make in a car handling and comfort.

    I knew you would get you fired up. Anyone that likes run-flats never drove on non-runflats.

    News: Wow, the difference a set of tires make in a car handling and comfort.

    Great facts Hib. There is always a story behind the story. The problem is people rarely inquire. So thank you. With that said it does not change the fact that the stock runflats are as hard as rocks and noisey and everyone hates them. If you want to cruise around on Sunday at 55mph they may...

    Wheel weights won't clear calipers

    Anyone please help. I have a 99 Vert. I bought C5 Magnesium wheels, stock sizes. The dealer says that the first tire he mounted on the front wheel will not clear the calipers because of the 3oz weight that he has to stick to the inside of the wheel. He said he cannot balance the wheel any...

    Wrecked my Vette

    Hey Paul, I just wanted to give you some information on how it really works from an insiders point of view. Anything can be totaled, and anything can be fixed. Autobody shops only make storage fees when a car is totaled. They would rather fix a car. Your car is an easy total. With that...

    Can a tire sidewall be patched?

    You can't. I was refering to puncture holes. Like from the tip of a knife or some sort of spike. A whole that would only require one plug. But since you asked, I have fixed a slash with three plugs and lots of rubber cement and drove the car fifty miles home once. That job was done at 2am...

    Can a tire sidewall be patched?

    I have patched and plugged numerous sidewalls over the years with not one problem. My friend just had someone stab the sidewall of his 22in escalade tire, and I patched it for him and its been fine. He wasnt about to spend 500 on a new 22in tire. Ive also driven over 130mph with patches and...

    Driving 99 c5 and all lights and gauges died and A/C went out. Windows died. WTF!!!!

    This is crazy. I have a 99 Vert and the exact same thing happened to me. c4c5 told me to check the pass door electrical harness to see if it came loose. the next morning the car was fine and I never checked the harness. It's still fine. He said a loose connection in the door would throw all...

    Parts question

    You can also order them through the dealer they are cheap. Or any autobody that you deal with. Very easily done.

    Serpentine belt / tensioner chatter

    if I recall correctly it was the dust shield that warped and caused the noise if not torqued properly and caused the noise. Makes sense. There is a TSB out there though.

    Serpentine belt / tensioner chatter

    Technical Service Bulletin. The auto manufacturers issue them in lieu of a recall. I actually found it here at the CAC somewhere. Print it out and bring it to the dealership. Everything is explained on the TSB.
