Whatcha got?

I might not understand your "steering slips" description, but here's a possibility. If the steering wheel occasionally takes a new position, about an eighth of a turn from the original position, it might be the vibration isolator, that's located in the intermediate steering coupler. Just...

Is this a new problem? Was there any work done on the engine recently? Have you checked your ignition timing? Are your brakes dragging? :w

I presume you've considered a second set of wheels for some road tires? You'd still have to get your show tires transported some way, so you could install them for the display. It's a crying shame if you don't get to drive the car once in a while! :w

Any clue on where the new part was made? I can't imagine a new genuine GM part doing that. The ribbons in my '84 lasted for decades! Those things are tough! I just got tired of the weak motors, and upgraded to the later style. Huge improvement! :w

Robert, are you knowledgeable on the '84 Cross-Fire injection system? It's a bit different than your '93 (like, 100% different). No vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator. Tom, take a look at your injectors after you shut off the engine. They shouldn't drip fuel after engine shut...

No. You'll be two quarts low. :eyerole

Does your gasoline contain ethanol? Some aftermarket fuel tank coatings won't hold up for the long term continual contact with ethanol fuels. :w

This paper clip trick won't turn on the radiator fan in an '84. The fan is not controlled by the ECM in the '84. :pat

"Pop Pop" isn't a very good description. Bad wheel bearings or U-joints will also cause a Pop Pop sound. Does the sound continue when the car is moving, with the trans in neutral, and the engine shut off? :w

Hey, we'd make a great duo! I like to fiddle, too! If your turn signals blink too slowly, you might try replacing the blinker, but I don't know where that is in your '95. Can you follow the sound? Have fun with the 'vette!! The '95 is an excellent choice! :w S.T.W. (Save The Wave)

If you haven't found your spare tire, I have a bigger question for you: Have you found your Owners Manual yet? Reprinting your Owners Manual would be quite a project, but that's where we're headed with this conversation! It will be quite an adventure as you discover all of the really neat...

Those aren't "cornering" lights on the rear fenders, they are back-up lights! Have you figured out your "spare tire" light? That one's even more mysterious! If you haven't found it yet, look behind your spare tire, just ahead of your rear bumper. It comes on with your interior lights. I...

It's more likely to be the three bushings inside one of the gears, than a stripped gear. These bushings are wear items, and are part of the overrunning clutch. When they wear out, the circuit doesn't know that the headlight doors are at their end limit, so the motor continues to run. The...

Welcome to the Corvette Action Center! Please answer these questions: 1. Do you have the Factory Shop Manual (FSM)? If not, get one. You'll learn to appreciate it! 2. Automatic or 4 + 3 trans.? (It makes a difference.) 3. Do you have a volt meter? Check the voltage on the "Crank"...

Here's the circuit for the seat belt lamp. Notice that there is no separate connector. The wires plug into the switch, which is inside the buckle. Sorry this comes out so small. Click on the picture to enlarge it. hcbph, since you have the '86 big book tech manual, is this diagram from my...

BlackVette, the first thing you need in order to maintain a complex 30 year old car is the Factory Shop Manual (FSM). If you had these two books, you could have learned that the switch in the seat belt buckle has nothing to do with the light. In fact, when you shorted the two wires together...

I was pleased with the quality of the Willcox weatherstrips I used. Tip on the rear hatch weatherstrip: Start at the corners. Glue the corners into place without stretching the rubber. Then work from the corners to the center of the car, top and rear. Most of the pieces can be fitted...

We all thank you for your confidence in our skills. Anybody here clairvoyant? Please show us your special talents! jaba, we need to know the year of your Corvette. I'm presuming this question isn't related to your '74 or your 2013! What is the problem with your a/c? :happyanim:
