    Review: Car and Driver Goes In-Depth with the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

    LMAO, I love that this is 'new'. Hey, I think its amazing that AFM(active fuel management) has been around since 2007, direct fuel injection since 2006 in GM cars and variable camshaft timing since earlier than that. Sorry, someone needs to study more! Allthebest, Paul

    Can the US Afford 60-MPG Cars? - How new CAFE regulations will change American cars

    Hi there, GM has been researching hydrogen for near 10 years. I was fortunate to drive and work on these cars pictured below. Yes, that technology at 440 volts is excellent. Volt at 360 volts is an amazing driving and running car having driven one for 2 weeks. The fact is we would have...

    Help! Abs and tcm lights stay on

    HI there, In the interest of accurate information here, your C1255 is where you should start. A DIC code read will never give you the SUBCODE to the C1255, and that is what you need first to accurately diagnose if you do or do NOT have a ground source issue. We do not measure ground...

    Help! Fault Codes Read by Dealer and They are "researching"

    HI there, I would not wait. Control module calibrations are specific and there may be new ones inside the control head. Not only that, but if they inspect the wiring accurately, they might find something else. You have spent alot of hard earned money on your car, let GM stand behind it...

    Question: C5 battery types??

    Clarification Hi there, In the interest of clarification, lets be clear on a few points. #1, 78PS from ACDelco is the latest battery recommendation for 1997-2003 Corvette. This has the 120 RC that is so critical in these vehicles. #2, 86PS is a top post directly applied to the 2004...

    Help! Fault Codes Read by Dealer and They are "researching"

    Hi there, I would first confirm that there are no chaffed wires on the back of the HVAC control head. Second, when the system is flashing the LED, I would scan the system to confirm loss of communications with the HVAC control module, or ANY OTHER MODULE AS WELL. Remember that the...

    Help! Fault Codes Read by Dealer and They are "researching"

    HI there, U prefixed numbers are communications ONLY. B prefix shows a fault of a component. #1, when did this occur? Did you just start the car? Had you been driving a while? What other work has been done to the vehicle prior to this incident? #2, 2013 GS, I would need to know if you...

    Important! C5 Column Lock debunked

    HI there, First off, the only way to clear that message is to remove the negative battery cable for 5 mins and then reinstall and torque to 11 ft lbs. After you do that, reevaluate the condition and as HIB said, TEST your battery. You need at least 12.5 volts and 500 CCA. Also, what is your...

    Question: Horn & Audio controls

    HI there, I would say to look at either the connection behind the steering wheel or the connection at the base of the steering column. There are connectors at both ends that could affect the parts you speak of. Allthebest, Paul

    C5 gauges going wild

    HI there, Yes, you remove the comb, and therefore remove the communications line for all 3 modules. When jumping the star connector, it is critical NOT to spread apart the terminals and create further issues. Yes, you can remove the #4 fuse, however this is ONLY for the seat control module...

    C5 gauges going wild

    Hi there, Along those lines, lets think more simply. Control modules, when they lose ground sourcing create all sorts of issues. On C5, this is even MORE of a problem. Seat control or door control can create your condition. Seat control modules have been shorted due to the wire support for...

    Help! Need Help With A Targa Top Trim

    HI there, Thank you for the kind words, JJS. And while this is a C4, the basics hold true, simple repairs make the difference. Now, for that particular type of repair, I am more inclined to use a urethane adhesive so that it will truly bond to the Lexan. BUT I am not sure if the primers will...

    2005corvette automatic

    HI there, I would most likely think its your shifter assembly that will need replacing. The BTSI or brake transmission shift interlock may not be working all the time or the solenoid might be sticky. Either way, you should check into replacing the shifter. Allthebest, Paul
