    Rumor Mill: V6 Corvette is Coming

    The only way I could see a 6-cyl Vette is if they could get it to out perform Z06. Of course if they managed to do that it would have to cost more and would defeat the purpose of coming out with an affordable, fun car for the masses that could bring up sales. Something I noticed about marketing...

    Valvoline Instand Oil Change Warning

    Sounds like Jiffy Lube service is crap across the entire country. I took my vette in for an oil change once, looking at the receipt when I got home it said they hit 5 zerks. Of course there are 8 on the car and I was wondering how the kid got an odd number. Weeks later I took my Blazer in to...

    It is possible!

    Just wondering, where did you spot the jack stands in the rear? I've been placing mine by the jack points since they are the only place I know is solid.

    occasional starting problem

    VATS is Vehicle Anti-Theft System. One thing to consider, if you get a no start, rock the car, and it starts right up I doubt it is VATS. When the system reads a key fault it will put itself in a suspend mode for 7-11 minutes. I may not be completely right on the time but it is definatly more...

    Winter Help!

    As far as driving the thing in the winter you have to remember that although the body is fiberglass but most of the car is still some kind of metal. I looked a a DeLorean that someone got the bright idea that he could drive in Illinois winters because the body is stainless on fiberglass. In...

    Catalytic Converter type?

    I don't know what the specific laws are over there but I would ask if you could put on a 3-way, get a regular front y-pipe, and see if it meets the requirements. Maybe you can get out of having to buying the precats every year.

    Catalytic Converter type?

    I have been told, but have never confirmed, that the system on early C4's is a three way system with the main cat being a two way oxidation catalyst for CO and hydrocarbons and the precats begin the reduction catalyst for NOx.

    Code 26 problem, can't find root cause

    Checking my Haynes manual, code 26 is the Quad Driver Module #1 Circuit. It says to check the resistance of the EGR, Canister purge, and AIR pump relay coils, which should all be over 20ohms. Replace any solenoid less than 20ohms. (I think this is the first time I acutally got some useful...

    Price help on 86 convertible

    Looking at the picture, I would say that someone has definatly messed with the odometer. They were just careful/smart enough to not get too greedy and cause a problem with CarFax. CarFax is a nice tool to have but is not always right. As an example, my 01 Blazer got clobbered and took well over...

    Price help on 86 convertible

    A quick not about the odometer in early C4s. The odometers have an antitamper which leads to having white lines appear between the numbers when someone tries to roll it back. Looking at the picture of the odometer you can clearly see the line between the 8 and 4 between and part of the line for...
