    Pull Key Wait 10 Seconds

    It's been years since this recalled item has been fixed and it just appeared again. Does anyone have a solution to permanently resolve this issue? I understand that if "Check Column Lock" appears I'll be dead in the water. Is this possible now that the "Pull Key........" msg has reappeared...

    The Corvette Action Center Suffers a Loss

    Sorry to hear of Bud's passing. Condolences to his family and friends. I was also unaware of Jane Ann's passing. She was always so delightful to converse with. May God be watching over both of them.

    Loss of mpg

    I checked the throttle body wiring and while doing so saw that the carbon fiber air-bridge was cracked. Replaced it with the OEM air-bridge and everything is working ok.

    Loss of mpg

    I have a 2003 Z06 and after a recent drive I filled it up and recorded 20 mpg when it had been getting 29-31 mph for the same drive. I have an active code of P1516 which is saying it's the Throttle Actuator Control. Does anyone have any knowledge of this problem? I only have 40,000 miles on...

    lambo door info

    You can check West Coast Corvette in So. Calif. They sell the vertical opening doors and may have info on what you're looking for. Good luck.

    Question: Short throw shifters

    Sorry. Been gone for so long I forgot to check previous threads on the subject.

    Question: Short throw shifters

    What's your preference for an aftermarket, or OEM, short throw shifter? B&M, Hurst, or something else?

    Good Lord !! NO!!! That Thing Is BUTT UGLY

    Ok, it's been a couple of days since I first commented on this post and the more I look at the C7 the more I dislike it. Don't get me wrong, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this Corvette isn't for me. It's too angular. I can't think of another gen Corvette that had this many creases...

    PlastiDip

    When prepping for Plastidip, you may want to wash your car, or anything else you're planning on Plastidipping, with Dawn detergent first. It will remove any old wax/polish build-up giving Plastidip a better surface to adhere to. It works great on your wheels too!

    2014 C7 Beautiful Poll

    I'm going to hold off on any judgement calls on the new C7. I remember when the C5's were first introduced and all the comments, myself included, said it was ugly. Guess what I bought in 2003? No, I'll wait and hold my comment until I see it in person although I am imagining it lowered with...

    Just saw the C7...

    I'll reserve my judgement of the C7 until I get to see it in person. When the C5 was introduced I hated it, but now I own an '03 Z06. I'm already imagining the C7 lowered with HRE wheels and in BLACK!

    Good Lord !! NO!!! That Thing Is BUTT UGLY

    I'm not going to make any judgement calls yet. I remember when the C5 was introduced, I hated it, but now I own an '03 Z06.

    They Just Look Better Lowered

    Remo, if that Lab is anything like mine, an intruder could step over it while it's asleep and not disturb it. :boogie

    ABS and TCS Dash Lights

    Yep, I have to agree with you that there are other things that can be done to perhaps fix the problem. I tried cleaning the grounding points too which didn't work. After reading "woodpuppy's" post it appeared he was at the point of removing the EBCM. That's why I sent the removal instructions...

    Question: Run flat tires or non run flat?

    I had to use my compressor on another Corvette during a weekend run. Had him up and running in 15-20 minutes. I have a compressor that will inflate a passenger car tire in 3-4 mins and I use the StopNGo plug kit. Naturally, if the hole is too big the plug kit is a moot point and the run-flat...

    Question: Run flat tires or non run flat?

    Also, you may not want to use anything like fixaflat aerosols because I've heard that it interferes with your tire sensors. I carry a plug kit and compressor in both of my Vette's.

    ABS and TCS Dash Lights

    I had the same code with my '03. I don't know if I can post the name of the internet service that repaired mine but here goes...ABSFIXER.COM / ABS EBCM Repair The handle you're talking about didn't completely raise up like I thought it would but I was still able to remove the electrical...

    Help! Replacing fuel tank sending unit

    Thanks to all who responded. It was an easy repair/installation. To anyone doing this I recommend purchasing the spanner tool. Makes it a lot easier to remove the cam ring. I did it by removing the spare tire carrier only. I did not remove the gas tank. Removing the old sending unit was...
