    Spark plugs

    Hi there, The revised spark plugs are 41-110 and they are PREGAPPED AND SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED. Your 98 has had multiple spark plug design changes and also should have the PCM upgraded with the latest calibration from GM to optimize the spark plug change. Allthebest, c4c5

    Help! wont start without starting fluid

    HI there, Start from square one, does your injector pulse occur ????? Even if you lose the oil pressure signal, the ignition firing will allow the injectors to pulse. UNLESS the ECM is not firing the injectors. Your injector pulse will tell you everything. Allthebest, c4c5

    Question: Improved C6 A6? A question for GM.

    Hi there, The key is how the transmission shifts in S. You completely change the shifting of the transmission when you do this. Just because you are in S does NOT MEAN you have to use the paddles. Its just a different type of shifting. YOU MAY use the paddles in S but it is NOT required...

    Question: brandnew battery dies overnight since jumpstart

    HI there, Just as a sidebar, I would suggest making sure that the battery terminals are correctly torqued with new bolts. If you have a bolt that is stripped, you will have these exact symptoms as the electrical connection comes and goes. This will wake up modules and create battery drain...

    Caliper change out

    Hi there, It will work, but the key is to NOT let the master cylinder go low on fluid. Once air is introduced at the master cylinder, its basically impossible to remove the air from the ABS control module without a Tech 2. Also, NOTE the bleeding procedure in the service manual as this is...

    Hi there, Obviously, you have a fuel or air delivery issue. The reason it ONLY happens when you first start it is that your in open loop and the ECM is not looking at the fuel trims. Once you get to closed loop, the compensation of the fuel system takes over and your fine. I would wonder...
