Limp mode
I finally found out what the problem was with my Corvette. After the shop that usually cares for my car (a normally reliable, well equipped shop) couldn't fix the "limp mode" that my car had had gotten into following the replacement of the braking system. They recommended that I take...
Engine power shuts off
In my preceding post, I neglected to mention that there are no codes thrown, either Current or History. The engine starts and runs perfectly, as does the transmission, Until you get to forty-five mph. I could drive any distance with no problem noticed if I didn't...
I have a 2002 Coupe with 120,000 miles that has always run perfectly. Took it in to my trusted shop and had new rotors, calipers and pads installed. All is great with brakes now, but it seems to have gone into a "limp" mode. It starts to shut down above 45 mph and just runs about 50 max.
I...
You evidently comprehend the systems involved more than I understood what Terry said. But whatever he did to isolate the problem to the starter, and fix my ongoing problem, was correct, and much appreciated by me. I remain amazed that the Chevrolet technicians couldn't find the problem.
Ticking LS1
My 2002 has ticked like that on cold start-up since new. Goes away when warm. I have 117,000 miles now and it's as good as when new. Don't worry about it.
Random Trouble while Starting
As everyone knows who has a C5, small electrical gremlins are endemic. The car is wonderful, but it can keep you busy chasing them. As has been said many times, grounds are the source of some of them. But not always.
I just cured a problem that sounds like...
Finally got it sorted out. I had done a fuse and circuit breaker check originally when my problem manifested itself, and found no bad fuses. I guess I just missed it. It was, I believe, the #6 10 amp. mini fuse in the panel under the passengers floorboard. It was labeled "tail lamps."
When...
As an update on the headlight closing problem:
Went to my garage last night to check what other light might be inoperative in the dark: Found taillights & instrument panel lights also inoperative. Brake, back-up and turn signals work fine.
I hope some of you bright people can help. Thank...
Things were very simple at the start. My light in the shift quadrant of my "02 was inoperative and I had a replacement for my broken console compartment door latch to install. So I pulled the console and the instrument panel accessory trim plate. No problem at all.
Found the bulb socket and...
Good job of working out this problem. I have replaced so many bulbs on the right side of my 2002, that I carry several extras, and can change them out in the dark. Now I know how to fix it. Thank you.
Lights dimming
My 2002 Coupe has been doing the same thing for the past year. Never lasts more than a second or two. Just had my car in to the dealer this week for warranty work on the HVAC display which was inoperative, and asked them to check for the dimming problem. According to them, it...
I would like to wash the engine compartment in my '02 coupe, but don't know the safe way to do it. When I was a kid I would get a can of "Gunk" and spray it on. Then wash it off with a hose. This car is considerably more complicated, and I don't want to screw it up.. Any suggestions? Thanks...
Sylvania phoned me back several times asking questions. They really tried to figure my problem out. They sent me four new bulbs (exactly what I had been buying) and told me to stay in touch.
I haven't had to use them because I haven't had another burn out. Sometimes I think we're not...
