    how do i remove the metal plug on cylinder head between spark plugs #1 & #3 In My 90?

    Since I could not get mine out I did have the chip reprogrammed to do the same thing, works like a champ and was actually easier to do.

    how do i remove the metal plug on cylinder head between spark plugs #1 & #3 In My 90?

    Good luck, I tried to get mine out, no luck that thing is in there. I was afraid I going to break something so I gave up.

    Rear Pinion Seal Leak

    Are you sure it is the seal, a couple of the case bolts on my dif were loose and caused the seam to leak and drip on the pipes, I thought it was the seal too. Might be worth a check.

    Flat Battery

    Sounds like you have something drawing too much current , even when the car is off. I would buy a battery disconnect switch and install that, then you can disconnect your battery when not in use. After that I would install an amp meter and see what your current draw is. I believe there are...

    Rough idle

    That could be a bunch of things, check your plug wires I had one that was rubbing the back of the valve cover on the driver side and had worn the insulation off. I am sure others will add different things to check. Good luck.

    Throttle Body Coolant Bypass

    I don't know if it helps performance or not but I did it so I don't have to mess with the coolant if I remove the TB for cleaning etc. I never understood the warming the TB idea, if your motor is ice cold so is the coolant and I don't see how cold water is going to heat anything untill the...

    91 Roadster

    I am not up on current prices, but I paid 14K for my 1991 in 1999 with 40K miles on it in real nice shape. I got mine from a private seller, you will usually get better prices from a private seller. From what I have been seeing you could probably get a newer one for that price range. You can...

    radio noise

    Sounds like one or more of your speaker amps are going bad. I had one of my rear amps doing that, I replaced the capacitors on the amp board and that fixed it. The new caps were about $5. It is not always the caps that are the problem, but most of time it is, so if you or a friend is handy with...

    Wheel lock key missing-help!!!

    Did you look in the compartments behind the seats ? I thought that tire places had a tool to remove them. I don't think I would heat them with a torch.

    emblem painting

    I was going to have mine repainted but when I checked on the price of new ones they were only about $15 bucks each and decided to just get new ones.

    Shocking things for C4.s

    I just put a set on this winter, but the car is still on jack stands so I didn't get to try them yet.

    Corner sagging

    I jwould check (try adjusting) the nut that holds the spring to the right knuckle, maybe someone removed it to change the half shaft universals and just tightened it all the way instead of making a note of its position and putting it back in the same spot. Just a guess, good luck.

    How to fix chips???????????

    I got a bottle of touch up paint from GM and used a product called Langka blob remover (or something like that). You fill the chip with the touch up paint and then use the langka to remove the blob of touch up paint that sticks up above the finish. The langka removes only the touch up paint and...

    Body Emblem Restoration

    I changed them on my 91, the old ones were both metal and the new ones I got from GM were both plastic. I was a little ****ed that they switched them to plastic but once they were on they do look the same. I also did not remove the paper from the tape backing, I just used the bolts.

    Tranie Question...

    I have started my winter projects, I am on the rear trannie seal leak. There seems to be some play in the extension case bushing, not a lot, but some. Since it is a pia to get the drive shaft out I really do not want to do it again so I figured since everything was apart I would change the...

    Proper Jump-Start Procedure for a C4

    I have seen a jump start block before and I always wondered why they called it that since it is buried behind the battery. Not a very easy place to get to.

    WHom has assembled their motor, 1st time?

    I have done the entire motor before and I have also had the machine shop do the short block. My advice is that if you are not doing the short block stock I would have the machine shop do at least the short block, there are clearances to check that can get complicated. They should know what they...
