Don't think I would appreciate it much. Makes me think how much of this goes on. I know the car is made to run, but what are the potential issues with a brand new car being ran like this?

I have not read that publication. Does it call for cleaning the TB and plenum while installed on the car? I assume at least not the TB as you state you installed a new gasket. Did you clean the plenum on the car? The fuel pressure should change between idle and open throttle. Did you hook the...

He actually has an older Harley that isn't currently running. To cure the earge he has asked me to help him get the bike running. It was funny though, he came back and told everyone in the office.

I took a coworker for a ride yesterday. It was his first time in a corvette. He told me from the beginning that I didn't need to prove the car to him and he was just interested in a ride. We started out smooth and easy, just a nice cruise. Once the temps came up, I took advantage of some nice...

Now that cooler weather is upon us, I have driven the vette this whole week to work. During the hot days, I don't feel like driving the car 20 minutes to bake for 10 hours. Not to mention, our parking lot is a sure target for birds. To me fall is the best driving weather. Unfortunately winter...

Update!! I have restored headlight operation to the 80 I was working on. I performed the necessary checks on all systems. The headlights would still not function correctly. I ended up finding that the fittings on the used actuators must have been smaller than the ones I removed, or the...

What is your insurance going to cover? You may think about fixing that 86 you found and turning it for a profit for extra's for your ride!

You put a test light on the injector signal wire? Based on the Pulse width and Duty cycle of the injector at that point in time, the light may be very dim.

Let's move this into the C4 Tech section where it should receive more attention.

I have seen this a few times. It is very informative I will try to utilize this with my troubleshooting. I believe my first test should be if the grommet and the diaphram are good on both actuators. From my testing, I think that with the headlights fully up, one of them doens't hold vacuum...

I'm working on an 80. I replaced both headlight actuators, as I ruined the original ones. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/thread123056.html So I have installed a new set. I tested them before I put them in as they were an ebay purchase. I used my Mity Vac pump, and was able to get...

If I can I try not to allow my fuel tank under 1/4. However the other day I drove it to work for the first time in a month or so, and planned on getting gas on the way home. I tried a few hard accelerations with only 3 or 4 bars, and absolutely the car simply ran out of gas. Topped the tank off...

Any backfiring or popping thru intake or exhaust?

Yep, the good thing is that the car is fixable. Glad you folks are okay.

Good luck with your decision. :w

Thanks for sharing!:w

You could go load 89 code onto your chip with slight messaging. That is about the best you can do for doing a copy/paste type change.

The question has been asked several times, and is answered well in the link provided. This has been around the forums for a while. How to Jack Up a ZR-1

I normally drive my C4 on low profile wooden ramps that I constructed. They are just some 2x8's that I sandwhiched together. I also have driven the car up onto a pair 2x4's. This allows me enough room to get a floor jack under the jack points.
