Feedback Hey, congratulations and thanks heaps for the feedback, pm's and all.

No fans with ALDL connected The fans not running when in diagnostic mode may indicate a poor ground for the ECM.

Injector cleaning I definitely would not use acetone to clean the injectors. If you had residual water in the fuel, some methyl alcohol will 'grab' it and carry it through the system and slowly clean out the water. Changing the fuel filter will speed the clean up (even if the filter is new, a...

Fuel pump Have you checked the fuel pump fuse?

Quirks You may use the 'search' tab to look for solutions to the three quirks listed, and lots of other stuff. All three quirks are discussed at length. The door ajar light going on/off usually results from worn out or miss-adjusted door switches. They're on the back of the door (not the jamb)...

High, rough idle speed The PCV=Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve can also cause your symptoms. Test by disconnecting it from the rocker cover (PCV remains connected to intake plenum) then hold your finger against it to stop air flow. If your idle steadies out (becomes uniform) and drops...

Engine stumble Yes, the rear O2 sensors do not control the engine; they evaluate the functionality of the cats. Certainly the coil, wires and control module (near the coil) can cause stumble but usually cause worse stumble under hard acceleration. Three items that might cause poor idle and...

Front end shake Most likely a bad balance job; or perhaps one of the weights came off already. Other potential causes are a bad tire (loose belt, etc.) even though new, bent wheel, worn control arm bushings or lousy shocks. If a shock is really shot, balancing becomes extremely difficult. I'd...

zerex antifreeze Zerex was an old trademark of DuPont. They sold the trademark, can't remember to whom. The company died. It was ethylene glycol, green stuff. Many current coolants are the same stuff; read the ingredient list. It will say if it meets GM specs for your year. The pink stuff is...

Loose mirror The mirror should stay in the car. Mine was loose in the block that attaches to the window, not the mirror end. Hope this helps

Squeaks at the corners My '95 had bad rear sway bar end link bushings. Pain to replace but got rid of a lot of noise. The bar does not have to come out. Put on solid, safe jack stands and remove the wheel. They're very accessible but putting the new bushings requires something like a press. I...

Loose rear view mirror There's a bolt, torx I think, that is really difficult to see. Has to be really tight. Then mirror won't drop when hitting a bump but adjustment is difficult. I'm the only driver so don't mind the tightness. Good luck

Stuck in park Besides turning on the key, you must step on the brake to release the button. If the engine is not running, you may have to step very hard or turn on the engine. If the battery is dead, I believe you are locked out as 12v is required to operate the release solenoid (which is...

Remove turn signal stalk Yep, that's the way it's done. Just grab it and pull it out. Now threading the new wire down the steering column is another thing. Unless you tie a string to the old connector and use the string to pull the new connector down the column.

Reading 94 DTC Try this thread. It has some good info and one post has a link to more good stuff. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/c4-technical-performance/14341-error-codes-obd2-94-a.html I got this by using the 'search' tab above and requesting "DTC read" where DTC means...

Welcome Welcome to a great site and to Corvette ownership. Regarding the temperatures; be aware that the LT1 and LT4 normally operate about 195F moving and in the 220's in traffic (without the A/C on). Turning on the A/C activates the low speed fan and keeps the coolant temp somewhat lower in...

New ignition switch MiMitch, The new key must have the same resistance chip as the old key, in addition to the grind matching the new tumblers. So, you likely need a blank key having the same resistance as the old key. Then have it ground to match the new tumblers. The alternative is to bypass...

Front seal leak Didn't you have some opti/water pump work done recently? Their shaft seals would be more suspicious than a suddenly leaky crank seal. Or was that seal replaced too? Take a thorough look with a strong light to make sure the water pump and opti shafts are not the source of your...

VATS bypass Check out this thread too. Lots of instructions and pictures. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88349&highlight=vats+bypass

VATS resistance values This is a list of values from an old post (2006) and I believe they are correct. As you can see, the values quoted earlier in this thread are actually kilo-ohms resistance. In the US there are RadioShack stores that sell consumer electronics where one can buy resistors...
