In case you;re new to the world of cars and DIY auto maint, BUBBA is a non-existant person, its the hillbilly shade-tree old school jury rig mentality..not an actual person...jeeze.

I fail to understand why people are stuck on wanting to eliminate the ONLY thing preventing your car from being hot wired in 8 seconds and driven away. Its just beyond me why a single VATS incident will throw a panic into someone and the knee jerk reaction is to: 1st Blame the VATS for the...

well...assuming this is an LT C4 with an opti spark on the front of the engine.....thats your call. Optis are expensive up to $300 a copy and knowing that it is a very delicate, precision optical sensing device that is absolutely ruined if it gets water inside...your call. You can TRY to cover...

Confirm the code 34. Thats an easy fix...MAF relay, and NOT the maf sensor usually. If thats not an issue, and you DO have 40+ psi fuel at the rails during cranking, and holds pressure for several hours, and have confirmed noid lite on BOTH banks, (one side can be down, these are bank-fired...

Thats my next purchase... My system is dropping all the pressure as rpm increases to the point that its now misfiring under heavy throttle...and I know the fuel filter is good. I can see the pressure drop off and recovery with rpm increase/decrease.. I need it to hold 45-50 psi through the 600...

Have you done all the appropiate test? By struggle, I assume that you mean it lacks the power to pull away from a standstill? "using wayore clutch..." Does that mean you have to 'feather the clutch' or slip the clutch to get it rolling? Is this a 4+3 being driven in high range? IIRC the...

ohhhhhhhh. IF that were MY kid..... his next school pictures might be on a milk carton......:chuckle Actually, I'm all about 2nd chances in life. Retaliation is meaningless because its a short term solution. This is an opportunity for an education. A "lifes lesson" as they call it..... I'd...

Removing the valve insert requires a automotive type valve tool. Its deeper and longer to reach inside further. Some standard schrader valve tools may not reach in far enough on auto a/c lines to get a bite on the old valve insert. Also, always KNOW what line you are working on. I have seen...

OUCH ! Glad it wasn't a new set of heads.... So your proper weather is a mess 'eh? Here as well. Some states suffering freezes while less than 1000 miles away record heat. I think we've (mankind) have seen the last of "normal" predictable seasonal cimates. Its gonna be a weather mans...

Darn nice to hear of someone that still practices customer service. I think this is exactly how the free enterprize system should work.... those that take care of bidness and offer good service should be rewarded with more customers and therefore greater reward/income for their efforts...

its been a while but heres who I used to know... J&D Corvette in Bellflower. They make every vette body part there ever has been out of fiber glass and have an outstanding after market dept with restoration shop and general vette repairs. May be a little more on the high side but if its...

Thats the easy way....dropping the bumper. :ugh it can be done with some patience, a wide assortment of tools and a good long reach thru the license plate and/or up under the rear quarter reaching up. Its a lonnnng way up there..... I had a broken inboard lense. It seems like I accessed...

Glad to hear that you made it though the rebuild...first time is always stressful. Once done, its now childs play. Enjoy the springtime with some headlites that go up & down !

lol...the voice of experience (bad ones):eyerole is all that I am. I used to sand mine to clean them as well...till I sanded thru the coating and bridged the coils and it then only moved when 2-3 gallons had been used. Annoying to park thinking you still have 5 gal and get in later to see it...

yessir, I agree with vetteoz. That blower control module is a common fault in the opt-68 elec a/c control system. The sell for somewhere between $75 to $125 , depending on where you find them. Local parts houses are cheapest while the catalog stores and dealers get the most. IIRC...NAPA was...

how does the SeaFoam work? Thats interesting....so it makes enough smoke to see exhaust leaks? In regard to TopTechs advice, it should be taken. It IS possible that there is a crack or gasket leak...I'm just saying that odds are against that IMO. However, all advice here should be taken and...

Yessir...shop manual. I hear ya....I spent my life on large equipment working with hydraulics and getting comfortable under the hood of a Corvette just isn't that easy... Most of what you need to do is top side anyway. The lift won;t help much. I'd locate the air diverter valve system and air...

There is no new technology...its the same p.r.o.m. that was installed in the ECM many yrs ago, just a slightly different program, thats all. Nothing new there. Even the so called "leap" in computer technology from TPI to Sequencial port Injection (more computing power) only yeilded a very few...

There is no common problem with exhaust leaks. Nothing that is common to a Corvette anyway. It IS a high-performance car and issues like this will appear from time to time. I seriously doubt that the EGR valve has anything to do with it, that works only when necessary, more often when throttle...

Yep...the gauge system has a "dampner" in the circuit to prevent the display from bouncing around as fuel sloshes in the tank...if it were a direct simple circuit you'd never be able to see what your level was until you sat still for a minute or two.... One word of caution.. I'd stay away from...
