    Help! Could these things be related?

    Sorry you feel that way. With all the work that I have done to mine, I still believe that you can't get more bang for your buck. The issues that you are having are known issues with known fixes. However, if you don't turn the screws on your ride, I can see why you feel the way you do and why it...

    A/C tensioner issues 2003 ls1

    What about the AC idler? Have you tested it? Also, did you ask the dealer to show you how they came about thinking that the harmonic balancer is bad? Some of these dealerships will pull stuff out their azz if they don't know what the real issue is.

    Question: starting problem

    Another problem that frequently gets overlook is proper torquing of the battery terminals. Improper torque will cause starting problems every time. Your terminals should be torqued to 11 foot pounds. As for your fob, the instructions for reprogramming the fob are in your owner's manual. I...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    You not only need to replace it, you should also relocate it because it is going to go out again. If you relocate it, replacing it the next time is a 10 minute job (as compared to 1-2 hours).

    First off, you can stop the codes from displaying automatically and put the codes into manual mode. This way you can actually take your time to see what the codes are and what module they are set in. You can stop the automatic mode and send the DIC into manual mode by pressing any button except...

    Help! Could these things be related?

    I have used different fuel cleaners in my Corvette to solve the fuel gauge issue (including a LOT of TechronPLUS), and the ONLY additive that I found to consistently work was Gumout's Fuel Injector Cleaner. My problem started around 2004 on my 2001 model and since I began using the Gumout...

    Put on your rubbers

    There are no udders on the rear of the car, just the front. If you raise your hatch slowly after washing, you'll see how the water runs along the weather stripping and is directed into the channels that dumps it off the car. You are obviously raising your hatch too fast for the amount of water...

    Water Spots..... or worse

    You've actually made your situation worse by waxing the paint. Wax is a protectant. You never use wax to "repair" anything, only to protect. Polish is what is used to repair paint, however, your situation calls for claying as the first step as others have suggested. If you don't protect your...

    Window Valet Question

    Have you tried turning the radio off before you lock up the car? I can't remember if that works or not but I do know that if you hit the unlock button once more after the windows go down, that will turn the radio back off. If you hit the unlock button while the windows are going down, it will...

    I can see tight through the issues you are having. #1: fuel gauge will go to empty when above 1/2 tank. did all the additive thingand still malfunctioning. There are two things involved with this issue. First, there is the reprogramming of the PCM as required by this TSB. Second, EXACTLY what...

    Window Valet Question

    There's a calibration process in the instructions that resolves this issue. You need to read section or page 14, which explains the calibration process.

    Help! Outside Temp Sensor

    I never have liked working on cars. I only do it now because of the ridiculous amount of money I save by doing it myself!

    Help! Outside Temp Sensor

    Yes, it is tied into the system. When you go to turn on the AC, the LED on the button will flash 3 times but the air will not come on if the BCM thinks that the outside air temperature is too low. A good test of this is to try and turn on your AC on a cold winter day. You will see that the AC...

    Put on your rubbers

    Read what I said about the AC drain. If you use your AC for awhile and it drains water to the floor after you have parked the car for awhile, don't mess with it. That means that it is working as it should. If you remove that thing from the firewall, you will find that it is a PITA to plug back...

    Power Steering fluid on floor

    They obviously didn't use the pulley you left them! I had fun removing mine but that's why I went so slow. I manage not to work while frustrated and break anything.

    Wow, $1200 smackers! Man, that's high! So why did they replace the pump pulley?
