May I ask a question ? Some friends having a C3 have tested and liked my "progressive" light timer. They asked me if I could build some of them. Mine is only a prototype, and it works very well. If I can find at least 10 persons interrested in it, I can have a small serie of them built. I have...

Yes, the timer is behind the glove box, on the rigth side juste above the cables. It is an orange box with a printed circuit in it. I have changed mine for a new printed circuit developped by a friend. It makes the light come on or off gradually like modern cars do, and has a battery saving...

And remember that interior light stays on when the dimmer command of the dashboard is turned to the max... ;)

A little bit complicated. I found it on a french car forum with many fans of german cars (Porsche and Audis). They frequently explore the site of two german car magazines : Auto-Bild, AutoMotorUndSport. I often post about Vettes on this forum. When they found the film, they posted it on the...

Here : C6 in action

Are you sure your timer is out of order ? I had this problem, but I didn't know I could light up the interior with the dashboard dimmer. Did you check that ? The second thing to do is to remove the timer itself. It is a small orange box behind the glove box, on the right. If lamps don't light...

One of my friends had such a "gremlin" in his '82. :confused He finally discovered that the source of all his troubles was the alarm... :hb

Well, I still have'nt met my friend again this year, but I think we can have enough candidates to have some boards produced. :Twist The next problem will be the money transfer between the US and Europe... :Silly Bud knows what I mean ... :eyerole Stay tuned !

The price of the smart timer will depend on the number of candidates, because we can't make less than 50 boards. we intended to price it (if possible) about the same price as the normal replacement timer on catalogs (note that it doesn't include the box, just the printed circuit). As for the...

A friend of mine has developped a smart courtesy light delay timer for me. It is a prototype printed circuit that fits in the original box. It does every function described in the users manual, PLUS smooth on/off (about 1 sec), and a battery saving feature that cuts light off if you let you...

I know it's not so easy. If you want to really get access to it, it's better to remove the heater's hose. If your car has a cruise control, you should have 3 connectors : - 1 for the brake lights with a white and an orange wire. - 1 for the cruise control release with a tan and a dark green...

Tatortot, Just try this : look behind the brake pedal. You should see (not so easy) a connector with a purple wire and a pink/black wire. Just disconnect it and try to drive in this configuration. If your car has a smooth behavior, then you can guess something is messing your computer... Evariste

I'll try to explain all what I understood of the lockup converter behavior during the last months, and the "bypass" I have installed. As my english is a little bit poor, don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand what I mean. As you may remember, I discovered that there was a...

Thank you UKPaul, I already did all the work to adjust the TPS, but it needs to be replaced. I found a "tech tip" on how to replace it. It seems to be much too risky for me, so I'll let it as is for the moment. I'm just evaluating two solutions : 1 - Having the carburetor rebuilt, but on this...

Great ! I ordered 2 white hats. They will look nice with our 2 shirts ! Evariste

Thank you Mike, even these are not so good news... Well, it seems that I am first going to choose Nut's "bypass". I'll make photos to have it documented. Now, I just wish to know the impact of a TPS malfunction on the motor's performances. I'll work on 2 scenarios : removing the E4ME, and...

Thank you for your help. I have no 21 code. I think my carburetor needs to be opened or replaced. Is it easy, or should I give this job to a specialist ? If I can do it, what should I order (rebuild kit, TPS, ...) and where can I find this "double D" tool ? Evariste

Stingray6974, I I could'nt measure the voltage, but I measured the impedance. The TPS is a 20KOhms potentiometer. When I push the plunger with a screwdriver, the remaining impedance is 3KOhms, that would give a 4,25 V Voltage. When I open wide the throttle, the remaining impedance is 7KOhms...

Exact. I checked the codes, and I sure have a 24 code. Before this speedo cable failure, speeds were'nt passing normally. For instance, at wide open throttle, the 2nd gear could stay engaged although the motor went up to 5000 rpm. After about one second, it passed in 3rd, giving a violent push...

Since last week, I have no more speedometer, because the cruise control regulator is out. I have noticed that speed changes are smoother at high revolving ranges (while overpassing for instance). Before it, the motor stayed one second at about 5000 t/mn in the second gear, maintaining the speed...
