Hi everybody! It's been years since I have been here, and I wanted to know if anybody else had the issue. I had my 98 C5 covered in the driveway last fall waiting for it's parking spot to free up for the Winter, and apparently some critter found an opportunity to get a nice place ready for the...

Haha, I have to laugh. It's been 17 years since I made this post, and I still haven't replaced the balancer. Yet.

I'm so glad somebody else has done this before. I sprung a leak and am barely able to crawl around under the car any more. It's good to know the best and easiest way to get it out, because I took one look at it and thought I better go to the CAC tech section and search around before I start to...

I am so sad to hear of Remo's passing. He and Guy were the first CAC'ers that I met at Carlisle. He was a great wit and was always willing to share the tent that they obviously put up in the wee hours of the morning, since it was in the very best spot on the fairground. We met several years at...

JAG was one of my favorite freinds here. I will miss her dearly. Rest In Peace Jane Ann.

Stephan, From the sound of your description of the problem, it could be a lot of possible things with the engine controls and monitor system. From the CTS sensor, that would cause your mixture to be all wrong for the temperature range, to a bad TPS that would also cause the stalling and dying...

Sorry, They went to a good home a long time ago.:w

An often overlooked cause of headlight failure is the frame ground at the chassis. The wiring harness up at the front of the car where the wires go to both headlamp bulbs have a black wire that runs to a ground bolt on the frame. There is a star washer between the wire lug and the frame to make...

I would look at a couple of things to start with. 1) Is your snorkel air valve on the air filter box open? It should be open to the corregated hose that runs to the exhaust manifold at cold start, then open to fresh air after warm-up. There is a thermostat inside the air cleaner housing that...

There is never a dull moment with these antiques is there? I would go back and check that terminal connection at the battery box first to see if the power is getting to the fuel pump fuse, and the ECM. If there's no spark at the distrubutor, it may be a problem with the ignition switch itself...

This Hypertech PROM will fit your 82-84 ECM. Hypertech I have the street runner in my 82.

Yes, the oil pressure switch could be going bad, since the unit supplies voltage for the pump on one side, and voltage for the gauge on the other lead. You should be running 40-45 PSI at cold idle and 20-25 PSI at hot idle with it goig back up to 40 or so above 1000 RPM. You might want to clean...

How you making out? Jeanie2002, how are you doing with this? Do you need any more help?

Wait for the manual. I haven't the heart to tell you how to do it either way. Let's just say there's some disassembly required. The good news is that a solid 10 PSI won't be causing your stalling problems. Some shops would call that a good pressure and just re-tune it from there. Here's an...

One other possible cause of a skip or dead spot in the throttle is a bad TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). You might want to do a quick check of the TPS too. This skip sounds like a dead spot on the TPS resistor as it moves. The center pin of the TPS connector is the wiper of the potentiometer. If...
