Hey guys, I have an 03 roadster, went out this morning all was fine, came back put up top and tried to do up windows, and no power to the drivers door switches, I checked the fuse 10 amp in the #30 position is good, checked the fuse, just to make sure, still no power to the drivers door only, is...

As many thoughts and opinins as guys and thier cars...I'm like most of you guys, just a regular hard working guy who has a deep passion....I was lucky to buy my first Corvette brand new and special order in 1993, I'm sure that will never happen again, BUT I still have my C-4 and I also have a...

re-reading So Bay Vetter's post, when my car died the first time it was instant just like his.......at 65 mph on a curvy 2 lane road....that was a wake up call. like his , mine was instant with no previous problems...

Here is a little ore info on how my guy found the problem....his Sun scope was able to make a print out of what the electrical was doing when the car was cold, it looks like and EKG from your doctor on the paper. Then he let the car sit idling until it came to temp, when it started to act up the...

So Bay Vetter is 110% right!!!! KEEP IT AWAY from the Chevy dealerships , they don't know ANYTHING when it comes to Corvettes...don't make the mistake I did, thinking ,as it was their car that they would know anything about them , THEY DON'T. For all the good they did ( 6 weeks later ) I may as...

Hey there tcxd40....I just went through the EXACT same thing with my '93 6spd 1 owner 40,000 mile coupe, after nearly $1000.00 in tried and failed experiments from a Chevy dealership, it was finally discovered that my Opti-spark was rusted so bad it wouldn't fire the sensor inside. I have never...

oh yeah, no codes at all....not until I took it to this guy who runs his own shop who had an awesome Sun scope that showed everything....way better than the dealership....go figure..

Nope, just the opti....only have 40000 miles on her, I hope the water pump will last longer than that. Yeah, the bill was over 1500 for the fix and 1300 from the 'Stealership" for nothing....expensive experimenting....yeah, I have learned a lot.

I sure hope the guy who replaced my opti did that....good thought, maybe I'd better check with him...sure don't want to go thru this again...thanks for the idea !!

Hey, John, that sounds exactly what happened to me. After a whole bunch of miss diagnosis, it turned out to be the opti-spark . many guys told me that and it was true. There is a module inside the opitspark that fails. If if was like mine and origonal, there is no way to change the module...

I must admit, I do feel I did get diddled a bit . I was trying to give them every opportunity to fix the car, and I thought as it was a Chev and I was at a Chev dealership things should fit together rather well. Silly me. I know , to the dealerships they are ' just another car', but to me , it...

Stealerships !!! I love that one, can I use it? Yeah, well of cousre they are going to throw it to me, the car was stuck in the beautiful USA and I live in Canada...can you spell ' sucker' ? I wish I had that info when I was looking, oh well live and learn I guess. Thanks for the detialed info...

You guys were right...I actually did manage to get her fixed....very painful, but it was absolutely the Opti-Spark distributor. ( If I could figure out how to post a picture, I'd show you ). In the end the Dealership could not fix it and had no clue.I ended up taking her to John's Automotive...

Just for fun, lets see how many people we can get on this and who knows.....maybe we can change the laws !! if not that we sure can make our voices heard. I am sick of car thieves getting away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist, with a ' don't do that again,,' from the judges. Just this...
