    Anyone ever have to repair the plenum panel screen

    I did it 3-4 months ago. Still holding perfectly. I used good tape on the underside. It was not thin and worked as a charm. I do not think you need to replace it. Just clean and put new tape.

    White C4 with Black or White top.

    I’m now a member of the flying roof club. Our C4 had a black (transparent) top. I bought a red top to replace the destroyed top. Should paint it black or white? Any one with white vette and white top pics?

    Radiator drain plug...where is it?

    Thanks. Yes, this is pet-cock style. It does not come all the way out. It should turn ¼ of a turn then move backward a bit to allow the coolant to leak. First time, it turned, but it did not move backward. I used a small screw driver to pull on it. It may be fine for you so you do not have to...

    Radiator drain plug...where is it?

    Yes. you got it. But this is not Allen key. You need a 1/4 ratchet extension. Do not turn more than 1/4 of a turn or you will break it. Actually you will feel when it is to his maximum, but a lot of people continue turning an they break the plug. I had to use a small screw driver to pull it out...

    New C5 Guy saying Hello, and a technical question

    Welcome. That was my first mod. I know it does not work for the recent vette, but it may work on your 99. I removed the BCMI 3 minifuse # 22 from the IPEC (instrument panel electrical center)located at the right of the BCM. Parking light are still controlled by the DRL. I need to turn the switch...

    COLUMN LOCK - NEED HELP

    Even if you get the lock plate removed, that does not mean it will work. If the BCM does not get the appropriate signal (+12 volts), it will believe that the lock pin is not retracted and cut off the fuel. Shaking the wheel did not worked for me. You need to remove the ignition key, turn the...

    My oil guages suddenly went to maximum.

    If it reads 80 psi ignition on and engin off, you have a bad sensor. There are several DIY on the subject. If you want to know what is involved, go on my web site and scroll down to "Remove Instake Manifold".

    98 C5 Starts up, holds idle, then stalls when put into 1st gear???

    Yes. That was one of the first thing to check; make sure they were torque to 11lbs. C5 computers are very sensitive to voltage. I had loose cable at battery terminal on my C4 and the voltage was going any where from 15.5 to 12 volts and the dash light was flickering. great you had the...

    98 C5 Starts up, holds idle, then stalls when put into 1st gear???

    I read some problem with the alternator. If I recall correctly, there was a bad connection to the alternator body, but I'm really not sure. My alternator always stays above 13 volts on both of my vettes.

    98 C5 Starts up, holds idle, then stalls when put into 1st gear???

    Yes. this is not too easy. The door side is easier to remove than the car side. You can try to heat the accordian with an hair dryer to make it softer.

    New key fob won't work - PCM?

    To be more precise, that process work on early C5. It worked on my 97 when I bought a new fob. It also work on newer C5. This is strange. But well, I'm not supprised of anything with the electronic. Could be the hatch button on the fob that is damage or making bad contact. I do not think it...

    C5 spark plug change?

    GM says that the spark plugs are good for 100,000 miles. I changed the plug and wire on my 97 at 80k and did not see a big difference. My friend has a 2002 Z06 with 32k miles. The car was not running good between 4,000 and 6,000. I changed the plug and wires. He now says that the car runs...

    Steering sensor problem-should I repair?

    The information is used to calculate three things : 1- the front wheels position when centered. 2- The front wheels position when turning. 3- The rate at which the steering wheel is turning. The EBTCM (Electronic Brake Traction Control Module) uses the digital input from the steering wheel...
