Don't give up! Leave the .44 wrench in the tool box! :r I just went through almost two months of troubleshooting mine and we finally found the problem. The beneift is that you will have reduced the number of parts that can fail and leave you stranded by replacing them before they do. You have...

AND? Have you checked the resistance of your injectors? What did you find? I recently went through a crank/fire/stall condition and it turned out to be the injector on # 8 cylinder basically shorted to ground. It is a very simple check. Give it a shot if you haven't and let us know what you...

a reference Try the thirdgen.org website. It is not specific to Corvettes but there is a lot of good info about TPI there. :D

I recently installed Accel 23 #/hr injectors. $279 from Summit. So far so good but they only have 1000 miles on them.

No More Clunk Feeling frisky after conquering the crank/fire/die condition, I got back to checking this problem out. Turns out it was worn out brake linings. Replaced this weekend and no more clunk! I did notice that the outboard pad had way more wear on both sides. The funny thing is the...

I have an 89. It is a great car. BUT, even though I bought it with only 74, 000 miles on it, I have still had to do some work on it. headlight bushings, water pump, alternator, inner door window seals, troubleshooting turn signal and running lights, replacing emblems, tune up parts, fluid...

I took her out Saturday for a 110 mile road trip. Everythng went well. The car starts quickly and idles perfectly. Runs like a champ; although I don't notice any improvement in performance. It was great fun having her back on the road. I thought a wrap up was in order so where we go! It...

I just purchased an AC delco one from thepartsladi on ebay for my 89 . I think this part shouldn't be that difficult to locate. :)

Eureka!!! Hi all. I am in Phoenix for my baseball tournament. But I had to post to say that I got everything back together Saturday morning before my flight left. Fired her up and she runs and idles! :Twist Wasn't able to drive her but let her idle in the garage and get up to temp. I am as...

Welcome! I few days after it arrives , don't be surprised if your facial muscles feel tired or sore. Don't worry about it though mate! It is just from the Corvette grin, a chronic but not terminal condition known to afflict first time Vette owners.:D Welcome to the :CAC

imur61 - I think you have a completely different problem. An issue with the start circuit. A service manual is an invaluable tool. ap g35c - Man. You have about one tenth of the time and money invested in fixing yours . BUT, I have a new fuel pump and strainer, new ecm, new ignition...

Welcome and don't worry. The continuous contraction of the facial muscles around your mouth is the result of the Corvette grin. The condition is chronic but not terminal!:D

Step by Step Injectors arrived Friday evening but still waiting on new EGR and FPR. So, :eyerole I CLEANED. Cleaned up the plenum and runners. Soaked them both and got all the oil and gunk off the inside as well. Of course, the same gunk that was in the runners is in the intake but I have...

It is actually a 16 millimeter flare nut. The one on mine is stuck tight. I ended up disconnecting the hose from the steel tube and removing the plenum with the tube still connected. Tricky! I hope to be able to get it off while the plenum is on the bench. Easier to put back togehter that...

Go to thirdgen.org and look for an article called TPI Injector Swap. While not specific to Corvettes it contains a pretty good explanation and some pics. You will need a 17 millimeter flare nut wrench for the brake booster vacuum connection to the plenum. Ask me how I know!?

Thanks Tom and Bill. MNSIU - You don't have to remove the injectors. Just take off the electrical connector and check between the terminals. Let us know what you find.

And we have a winner! Went out to the garage last night. Disconnected the electrical connector for injector number 8. Said a prayer. Inserted the igntion key. Turned and released. She cranked, fired and RAN!!!! :upthumbs:J Totally motivated now to tear into the plenum and intake and...

Thanks for the Input ecss - I will try disconnecting injector # 8 tonight! eiball - Glad yours is running well again. Black Bart - Thanks for the info on the ECM internal injector driver protection. I had wondered if the ECM somehow sensed the problem and shut itself down. I understood...

THE LATEST Measured the resistance of each fuel injector coil at the behest of c4c5specialist. # 1 through # 7 all around 15 ohms. # 8? 3 ohms. :eek So the right side fuel injectors won't fire. 3 ohms is close to a short to ground. I have already ordered some Accel injectors and they are...

No Codes No codes have been stored throughout this saga. I suppose I might check again now that I have a new ECM. There is a place in Illinois called vette2vette. I got a set of transmission cooler lines from them. Good service and reasonable pricing. vette2vette.com
