Hey all.. Sorry for the delay, was a bit busy with flying around the country-side.. Prague: Check, Moscow: Check, Accra (Ghana): Check.. :eyerole I finally called the ADAC (the AAA equivalent here in Germany) and they just flat bedded the car to the mechanic. And because i had signed up in...

And again i am proving to myself that i am useless as a car mechanic.. :mad Got the fuel pump and got some shrink tubing for making the electrical connection and set out to get it done. I pushed the car out of the garage, just in case (Can you tell fuel makes me nervous?) and unbolt the lid...

Figures.. I had signed up for the ADAC thing, and finally got a hold of the mechanic yesterday to tell him that i'll be having the car dropped off. He's super busy this week and cant take the car on, but he suggested (strongly, though he cant be 100% sure) that it's the fuel pump. So, what...

Tom: nope, didnt feel like taking apart the rear injector to get to the FPR. It may well contribute to this whole thing, but i would have to find time somewhere to get into it. :ugh Thanks for the tip though. I'll definetly post up what the mechanic finds. :w Stefan

Ah yes: Best laid plans and all that.. Update: The filter didn't get delivered in time before vacation (they sent it to a wrong address). I checked with them from vacation and they returned it to the store in Frankfurt; after a bit of back and forth. So i picked it up yesterday (and a pair of...

Hey Guys.. Sorry about not stopping in, Moscow took my attention.. And now the family.. Yey.. Anyone wanna trade? :L:eyerole Okay, one at a time: @djsroknrol: Yeah, i think the more i contemplate the issue (One has some time on a 3 hour flight to think), i am leaning more and more to fuel...

Alright. i did a few more tests today and ran the car. Here is the findings (Hopefully in better car speak): When starting the engine, she is idling okay, though a bit rough. The RPMs are at the correct level though go up and down a few hundred every 10-20 seconds or so. The engine rumbles a...

The color of the oil is fairly normal. Darkish brown, I'd say.. Running of the engine: When starting up, the engine runs fine. Normal RPM's, in idle and driving (last time i tried). When she sat idling in the garage, normal range, i can rev fine. What i haven't tried is to let her run until she...

Larry: Coolant: Looks good.. I even removed the cap to check and some leaked out. So, way good on there as well (Not just the overflow tank). When i squeeze the hose, it pushes coolant back into the overflow tank as well.

k: Tranny Fluid: Check. All nice and red, a little above full actually.. Anything else i could check to pinpoint? (And you guys' help and suggestions do make it better; doesnt make me feel all alone out here :beer)

Tranny Fluid: Good point. Dooh.. I'll go check on that tonight and report..

Howdie all.. Yeah, i know, only coming by when i got an issue. :) Tuesday, i wanted to drive home from coming from Ankara. Hop in the car, starts right, no sweat, yeah, going home after 5 days of 33C in the heat working over the weekend.. After 5 minutes of driving, car is warmed up at new...

GM Heritage Center Archive | Free Vehicle Information Kit Downloads Just got info on that from the german corvette site. Thought i share. :w -Stefan

I'm with Tuna on that one. Had it at work Monday, snowing in the pm but the main roads were fine. Well, until i came to my road. :W Brakes? Whats that? Sliding sliding against the curb. Managed to slide into a big garage entrance and backed her into a parking spot on the street, 5 houses from...

k, as i am the only voted for Driving it, i should explain.. ;) It's my Daily, so sometimes stuff has to wait until i have time to get her done. :) :w -Stefan

Welcome to the 82 World Butch. I hope she turns out to be all what you are looking for. Personally, i wouldnt look at bling just yet. Make sure all is well in the starting/stopping department, then prettify her. ;) Ie. Make sure all the safety aspects are taken care of, before going for the...
