Nope. Must be my Corvette.:L

Here's a typical example of Florida ripoffs. Took the Vette in to the dealer for a scheduled oil change. Lifetime free and they hate it cause they didn't expect anyone to keep the car this long. So I asked them to check for the leak which I knew existed. Diagnosis - leak from the intake...

Excuse me, I have to go kick the oranges off my lawn so I can mow it.

And Ken, maybe you can answer this question for me. Just when does Chevron mix in those super duper additives? I worked at Port Everglades, major importer and home of mucho fuel farms for many years. I watched as tanker after tanker from every mom and pop gas station you can image pulled up...

Well I guess that settles the octane question. Ya gotta love that guy Ken - he's so refined... hehehe!

Very interesting, Ken. And someone was telling me the other day I didn't need to use Premium as I always have and probably will. I have used STP fuel injector cleaner but not on a regular basis. Thanks!

LOL- -- I have heard alot of don'ts about the gumout but will check with my new-found wonder mechanic on that issue plus the fuel filter. I guess you're either for additives or against'm. Now what's your position on mounting ...OH NEVER MIND!

I suppose I should have the fuel system checked as it has never been. One large payment at a time please. Anything in particular I should ask for? There was telltale exhaust suggesting a rich fuel mixture credited to the short spark plugs. Of course this problem has been corrected. ps. no...

Okay Okay - but emphasis on the "were" in the romantic sense please. Sometimes I do wake up and smell the fuel running rich!

Vigman - you were absolutely correct and I never would have guessed it. I had absolute faith. Oh how you guys let us down!!!

Why I'm very flattered. Merry Christmas to you, too!

Ouch!!

I'm not as mean as the guys - this reminds me of the Chastain's Shadow I had on my '84 Z28 Camaro and on that car it was a "hot" look. So I guess someone got the idea to revive for the Vette's somewhat similar window but....it just doesn't have quite the same effect. And I did have quite a...

Thanks for making me this laugh on this rather blah Christmas Eve - the highlight of which was oiling my K&N filter! Please - no lube jokes!!!!:

Ok - I've been driving it for several days and it rides like a new car. Thanks to Carlos at Cam Automotive in Fort Lauderdale for those looking in this area of the country. Also found...former good-intentioned boyfriend had installed a wrong set of Bosch plugs. About half the required length...

92 starting problems Finally got around to getting the Vette to the really good mechanic after my chats with you on Thanksgiving Day etc. Diagnosis/analysis - corroded distributor wire - and nothing more. As you knew, new starter was a waste of time and money. However, I did opt to have all...

Thanks There have been many awards won by this car but nothing major. At one time I was president of the Ft. Lauderdale Corvette Club. From that experience, I learned to avoid clubs and shows!!! You talk about politics.... There were plenty of good times. We traveled around to the shows in...

The Plan OK - I will give the optispark a try. I have a couple of resources left and I am curious to see what the dealership would charge for the repair. Would you also consider this time for a tune up? Also, c4c5, who is the Sanford mechanic? I just spent the past week only 20 minutes from...

More details Thanks everyone. Got some more specifics. Let me try to answer some questions: c4c5 - It turns over but does not catch. Took three efforts today to get it started after sitting for a week. 69MyWay (and I hate to ask) - It spins over. Someone else mentioned to me about the...

Thanks Ken. I have been reading some of the other Q & A's and like a hypochondriac - I think I have all the maladies. Thinking - could this be optispark problems? And just what is the function of the optispark? Sounds important! Does it just need a tuneup? I have used STP fuel injector...
