Well what I did was connect everything the way the 1987 was set up. And, The CEL went out. But, the cars drive ability has gone to hell. It idles at 600 rpm and goes as low as 400 and STALLS!! YUCK! I dropped it off at my mechanic. I am thinking TPS? Timing? Actually the car idled fine. Was at...

hi everybody I own a 1989 Z51 6 spd. The car is back firing. The code according to my mechanic is something about running lean. I have the hoses on the top of the canister running correctly. The CEL is on and it now wants to stall. Does anyone know what the lower hoses connect to. I met...

Hello everybody So my 1989 6 spd is running but it does not have tail lights. When I press on the brake the brake lights go on, the center console lights go on, sometimes the door chime comes on and the cornering lights go on. So I figure that there is a broken ground somewhere and when I...

About 3 hours ago I found and watched those videos. I will have to pay attention to where the clips, washer etc. are and see if they match the video. Thank you

What surprised me was the retaining clips and the rad are the only thing that holds that caliper in place. Kind of flimsy. I know that the caliper and bracket are not expensive ($90.00 per side). So I will be purchasing at least one if not both sides. Thank you for the input.

First and foremost I did stop driving the car. I spoke to ZIP Corvette. They were very helpful. I think what is wrong is the retaining clips are in wrong. I think that the former owner installed the retaining clips thinking that they are wear indicators. So when I get the car back. This week, I...

Hello Everybody I own a 1989 Z51 Manual Corvette. The passenger side caliber is coming out of the bracket that holds the caliber in place. This is under normal drive around town driving. Is this a common problem? Is this a common problem with the Corvette. Is the problem the caliber or the...

Hello Everybody, I have a 1989 Corvette. I just installed an 1987 hood on the car. The bump stops for the 87 and 89 have different diameter bolts. So they are not on the car. I have ordered a set of stops from ZIP. My hood will not close properly. I have to force it down and usually use the...

My car was the first year to get the six speed. It has a dual mass flywheel. But, I am changing it out. I am using Rhino-Pac parts. My trans guy said he has never heard of them. But, two or three reviews I read said they are good parts. In any event I told my trans guy. Look at the parts if he...

Thank you. It looks like Rock Auto wil fit the bill. But, I need help on ordering the part. So tomorrow I will c all them. Thanks again

I have just been informed that my 1989 Z51 needs a flywheel, clutch, throw out bearing, pressure plate and slave cylinder. Any suggestions on the ones I should buy. The car is a daily driver. Once maybe twice a year it may seem some performance driving. It is a bone stock L98 may get some...

When my 84 did that. I went and crimped the blade that connects to the overdrive. It was just a bad connection. So go under and make sure that all the wires are on the connectors tight.

Hello, I just purchased a 1989 6 spd Corvette. with the Z51 suspension. I purchased the CAGS bypass. Does it work? Cause any problems? Thank you Joe

Frankly if I had three grand, I would be rebuilding the motor. I will run it as is for a while and hopefully rebuild it next year.

Hello Everybody, I own a 1984 4 plus 3 Corvette. I just removed the camshaft and found two lobes round. I have the new camshaft in. My question is "should I remove the oil pan and clean it, so that the camshaft fragments do not cause me problems. Can I do the bearings with the motor in the car...

thank you First you were correct the interior lights was a fuse. But, the previous owner used a 30 A rather then a 15 A. I put a ten in. It did not last long. Hopefully a 15 A will last.I looked up the wiper motor in the shop manual so I am going to break out the volt/ohm meter and see what I...

Hello Everybody I own a 1984 4 plus 3 Corvette. This morning I was driving and noticed that the voltage was 11.1 volts. When I got to my destination and shut the car the cooling fan kept running. I finally pulled the relay and the fan shut. After the car cooled I plugged in the relay and the...

Hello Everybody, I own 1 1984 4+3. It has it's original seats. I am thinking of changing the seats. I would like to know a couple of things. 1) what year seats bolt directly in to my car i.e. 1984 thru ???? 2) Corvette sport seats. Are they a good investment. Are they comfortable. Can I...

You are correct. doing the fuel pump is probably the correct thing to do first. The TBI's are original so the balance should work. Thanks again.

I will once the temperature gets above holy#$%^ cold go out and check that the timing advances correctly. I believe you are correct about the fuel volume. So I wil be picking up a pump soon. And I willl definetly give balancing them another shot. I am pretty sure I know which vacuum port to use.
