    I just got my ZR-1, too!

    Well, thanks to many of you on this forum, especially the extremely patient and helpful Jeff Flint, a.k.a. "Jeffvette", I finally tracked down my ideal ZR-1 and purchased it this past weekend! After more than two months of searching that began with an inspection and test drive of a surprisingly...

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Hi Rob-- Thanks for all the detailed responses-- that should come in handy for any future ZR-1 searches that I or anyone else might undertake. Well, what happened with the car was that I left it alone for a week or so, then went back to haggle with the guy, and he informed me that a dealership...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Failure looks imminent Well, now I'm thinking that I've made a horrible mistake by trying to do this myself. Paying someone else $300 to fix that POS oil pressure sensor doesn't sound so outrageous anymore. I just spent another $#@*%*$#@&$ hour+ trying to get that stupid intake manifold off. I...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Thanks for the tips. Any hoses in particular? I'm looking to see if there are any still connected that could be causing the resistance to move. Does my sense that the manifold is sticking underneath seem logical, or is that just an incorrect perception, you think? Thanks again! Fred

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Intake manifold seems stuck! Hey Guys-- Could use a little help at this point. I've begun the process and have gotten to the part where I need to slide the intake manifold forward. However, while I can lift it up a little bit, I cannot move it forward. It seems like it is sticking somewhere...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Questions about Corvette Forum How-To Been looking at that How-To link. It says you can reuse the Intake Gaskets. Is it better to get new ones, though? I've seen other posts stating that you need new ones. What's correct/advisable? Any particular things I need to do to reuse the old ones? Will...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Thanks for the info and the link, VETTEX2! In checking with my dealership parts guy, he says the part #(12562230) I gave him (from the link you sent) is not the one listed in his system for a 2000 Vette. He does have the part, but the price (somewhat below list) would be $38.17 on that one...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Re-he-heally?! I was just going by what c4c5specialist (I believe) had said it would probably cost in a thread long ago. I have the service manuals, but since it only happened yesterday, I haven't yet looked up the procedure to see if I should try it. I had planned to take a look, but this might...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Weird! Well, this morning, it seemed to want to work a little bit. A few times, it tended to start drifting off toward the upper peg (80psi), but for the most part, it was in the middle of the range where it is supposed to be. I won't hold my breath, though-- it's probably just being...

    Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! Damned oil pressure gauge!

    Well, my '98 coupe had the oil pressure sending unit problem (needle pegged on 80psi, DIC readout showing 130psi), but I was relieved to find that upon picking up my 2000 coupe, it did not. But what do I notice while cruising around after work today? As I'm scrolling through the Gauges in the...

    DRL's

    I wouldn't put in two blown bulbs. I just had to replace one of my DRL bulbs. The reason? The turn signal uses the DRL as well. When the DRL bulb was out, the signal flashed very quickly, and only the rear signal worked. So, I wouldn't try to disable those lamps with blown bulbs or disconnecting...
