    Cancelation of Corvette

    Exactly! This is just what I heard from a GM guy, but GM is betting that the Corvette won't do as well as C5 did. Lets face it the C5 introduction will be hard to top! If the sales aren't there, theres speculation that the Vette will be canceled! Perhaps for a complete REDO like the T-Bird...

    1991 L-98 rough idle

    Have you ruled out or checked your distributor? I get ALOT of GM's in the shop with the identical problem and it turns out the after HOURS of testing piece after piece the distributor magnet is cracked and the cylinders basicly fire at will. At High throttle it clears up but at idle Whoa look...

    Help flushing anti freeze!!

    Thing I hate about Dex cool is, if it loses its water throughout running the vehicle it turns into a nasty gel brown crap substance that actually eats out your plumbing. GM actually warns about this and if you "neglect" your cooling system and take back the vehicle with chewed out parts...

    Valve guides

    Are you leaking anywhere?? Im mean have you actually been able to get under the car and take a look at things? You said you PCV was exhanged (assuming the old one was shot) perhaps it pressured up your seals therefore the leak. Try looking behind the bellhousing dust cover for a rear seal leak...

    What are the pros and cons removing cats?

    With the loss in back pressure your O2 sensors are going to scream lean therefore your going to lose a bit of fuel mileage due to the computer riching up the mixture. I think TPiS sells a "cheater" for C5's all they do is clip onto the existing 02 sensors and fool them into thinking everythings...

    Dead Battery Question ??

    Was this battery stored in sub zero conditions? If it was most likely it froze and now dead... Try trickle charging it and if that doesn't work start shopping

    4+3 shift knob removal

    No you don't have to remove the knob to get to the switch. However I thought I read that it was loose? Plus its nice to do anyway to clean it etc.. Plus it make this job easier as the boot won't be in your way while working on the switch/wires. This is also a good time to take a look at your...

    Check your battery connections (Hey who knows) Clean them up and ensure a good connection. Now If you have a Voltmeter start the car and look for 13.5-14.5 volts. If no Bad alternator. (Just hook the voltmeter up the the batter poles) With the car off look for around 12 volts. Do you have a...

    1992 Rear Wiggle

    Looks to be fine? Please describe? How did you check the wheel bearing? It IS VERY possible the bearing is bad without ANY play in the bearing. The only way you could truely know is putting the car on a hoist and accelerating. Then using a screwdriver or other listening device, listen for a...

    4+3 shift knob removal

    Stick your fingers or a small tool in the button and pry it up hinging towards the back. Pull it off. There will be a "T" bar (The actual button) and a plastic "tray". Unscrew the "T" bar ---> it has EXTREME fine threads so this will take awhile. Remove the plastic tray Now you'll see a...

    K&N Oil Coating

    Exactamondo. When reoiling these filters just spray until the white cloth turn purple.....hence the reason for the purple dye. When it turns purple STOP. People ALWAYS just keep spraying like they are trying to paint the darn thing and it ends up soaking wet in K&N juice. Therefore it coats the...
