No problem. Thanks for the reply.:beer

It has 104,000 on it and I use premium gas. The inspection sticker ran out in May and, since I just got it running again (but still skipping) I decided to go try and get it inspected..An obvious BAD MOVE on my part, but I just wanted to get the car legal again. Well it passed safety no problem...

Its more on the take off.. When I give it the gas it stumbles (doesn't take the gas at all), sometimes backfires, and then catches up to how much I have the pedal pushed down. I usually have to "feather" the gas on take off just to get up to speed. Once I get going, say 35-40 mph, the miss is...

I recently replaced the opti spark on my 92 in hopes of getting rid of a skip that has been there since I bought the car. You may have seen my thread about what I went through replacing it, which really wasn't that bad but wasn't that good either. Anyways, long story short, the car still has the...

I FOUND MY PROBLEM!!!!! Went out there today and ripped the water pump back out with intentions of sending back the opti I bought. Then I noticed that the coil wire has a slight tear in it. Turns out it must have got caught slightly under the water pump when I had tightened it down.:bash That...

Oh, and if anyone thinks I may have bought a bum opti, is there any way I can test to see if it is good while on the car (ohm meter)?? Thanks.

Tried that, but none of the parts stores had those ends. So, I bought a new harness from Casper electronics for $41 with shipping ( just got it today). One end of the harness was different but I was able to plug the wires into my harness with no problem. Anyway, I put the harness on and start...

Still no luck. I tried bending the pins, but I think I bent a little too much and can't seem to get them back in the right place. By doing so, I think I messed up the harness that the clips into the opti. I tried calling all the local chevy dealers and was given a part number for the harness...

I just tried bending the pins but accidentally bent them a little too much and now I don't think they are going into the harness correctly.:bash I'm getting worried that by the time I get the pins in the right place I might break one and it appears that piece on the opti with the pins doesn't...

I got everything apart and put the new opti and water pump in today. Now when I go to start the car it attempts to start but won't. I don't know what or if I may have done anything wrong, or if I may just have purchased a bad opti. Any advice is appreciated. This doesn't make my day.;help

oh boy..doesn't sound fun:puke..i'll post my progress tomorrow night..thanks for the advise Junk. :thumb THIS FORUM IS GREAT!:beer

Well whats the best way to knock those bolts loose without an air ratchet? Keep whacking like I have been I assume?:bash

Hi there Junk (or anyone else viewing this), whats the secret to stopping the bottom pulley from moving around in circles when trying to loosen the 3 bolts from it? I tried whacking my rachet with a hammer and no luck. I currently have some wd40 soaking in the bolts, but i plan to tackle and...

Kinda glad to hear that because i didn't receive any vacuum lines with the one i purchased. Although i know an upgrade is possible, I just wanna get back on the road again and experience the true power that this vette has to offer. I've been riding with the skip since I purchased it...Side note...

I got the pump off using junk's advise to use a swivel socket (the pump fell off in my hand after that last bolt). Thanks JUNK!!! Also, the last bolt was pretty much hand tight which kind of made me think that possibly it was trickling water on the opti without me knowing it because it was...

upon closer inspection looks like power steering pump, and alternator need to be removed...someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. Don't wanna do any unneeded work..Plus the heat outside is torture (feels like 100 degrees)....Thank you..;help

Since I bought my 92 it has had a terrible skip while accelerating. Once I get up to say 50 it goes away and seems to run somewhat smooth. After reading about all the problems with the optis, I figured I'd give it a shot and replace mine and the waterpump while I'm at it. Got the opti for 120...

Hi-I have a 92 convertible that I bought last year knowing it would need a new roof. I have mainly driven the car on nice days to avoid having to put the roof up and make my car look less appealing. Anyway, I've decided to tackle the task of replacing the top myself this year and was looking to...

Its a little late now for me to be asking this question, as I've already ordered a new AC compressor, but I was just curious to see if anyone has done this. I wasn't sure if a certain idler pulley could be used in place of the compressor, or if it would be possible to put a smaller belt on. I...
