Did your alignment shop set the front wheel caster to the factory spec of 3 degrees? Later model 'vette's specify 5 deg. and I found the 5 deg. caster setting to be a significant improvement in my '84! This won't help the "bouncing" (which I find difficult to believe) but it will improve the...

Do you know how to check for a good strong spark? Test it with the engine cold, and then test it again after the engine has stalled on you. :cool

Tim, when you had that passenger side headlight assembly apart, did you figure out how the limit switches work? It may be a dirty limit switch is causing this problem. If you studied how they worked, you would see that the armature of the motor must be able to move smoothly on its axis...

When you bleed the brakes, do you get a good strong flow of fluid thru the bleeder fitting? If it's not a crushed brake line, I'd suspect an ABS problem ($)! :(

I replaced a bad transistor in my delay module eight years ago, and it's still working fine. If you can't find a new module, I may be able to fix yours. Send me a PM. :)

I'm surprised nobody has answered this question since August 28th. In addition to your interior lights and your spare tire lamp not working, your hatch release switches on your doors won't work. If you turn on your courtesy light switch on your headlight switch, your interior lights and your...

Your power antenna relay is located under the valence panel at the rear hatch latch, to the left of the latch. :pat

KOPBET, there's no way air can be sucked through the bleeder screw threads if you're following the correct bleeding procedure! The seal for the bleeder screws is the tapered seat, not the threads. The only time the bleeder screws should be loosened is when there is pressure in the hydraulic...

DDC5, you're not making any friends with this post. Your water molecule will ALWAYS spend half its time in the engine and half its time in the radiator, regardless of the engine temperature. The only thing that controls the temperature of the engine is the amount that the thermostat is open...

This still doesn't compute in my head. If the water is moving thru the engine too fast to absorb the heat from the iron/aluminum in the engine, what is the temperature gauge measuring? Is it measuring the water temp or the iron/aluminum temp? If the water is moving thru the engine so fast that...

If both the speedometer and the odometer don't work, it CAN'T be the stepper motor. That drives the odometer only. Go for the easy stuff first: Check the transmission sender (pulse generator). Does your cruise control work? How about your trip odometer? Did your speedometer and your tach...

It depends on what you mean by "fit better". Are you talking about up-down/left-right adjustment? There are two bolts on each side of the car, about 3/8" diameter, at the back of the bumper assembly, near the fog lights. These bolts are in slots in the front cross-tie frame member and the...

The good Lord gave us two ears and only one mouth for a reason. I believe He is telling us we should listen twice as much as we blab! :BDH

That would be good news if you only need a clutch and a can of refrigerant! Have you tried to actuate the clutch? With engine running and a/c control on max a/c, disconnect the low pressure switch (probably located near your a/c coil on the firewall). Install a jumper wire between the two...

Boomdriver, how can you fill the sytem within +/- one or two ounces from the small refrigerant can? This can be done if you have the large professional 30 lb. container, with a precision scale to weigh the container, but to do this with the small can would require dumping the rest of the can...

I like my Wolo horns from Pep Boys. They sound like genuine GM, and cost a lot less than that! They were even made in USA! :pat

Dawn, I presume you have the Factory Service Manuals for your car. Your a/c won't work if the freon gets low enough that the internal gas pressure goes below about 30 psi (engine off and cool). Because there's probably still internal pressure in your system, you need special procedures and tools...

Thank you for the good report! We are all using this forum to learn from each other, and to try to help each other. Many times this is only a one way street. Lots of people offer help, but the person receiving the benefit doesn't respond to let us know how the problem was solved! That's...

Chris, it's been over a month since you posted your question. Several members tried their best to help you. We're all wondering what you decided to do. This forum works the best when we all share the information we've learned from our experiences. What did you learn? Do you have...

That Gorilla Glue repair won't last very long. Since the roof is a structural member of the chassis and gets very hot in the So. Cal. sunshine, there is a lot of stress on that adhesive bond. Gorilla Glue will get too hard in a short amount of time, and will crack. Where are you in So. Cal...
