    Coolant Leak!!

    Well I went to AutoZone today and to my suprise they had a hoze that was a very close match to the one that split. Purchased it put it back on and completely flushed the coolant system and added new, and I am back on the road now. Just for kicks what is the capacity that should be in the C4...

    Coolant Issues

    Hmm... when I do that to mine and run it at about 1500 or higher the level always drops as I add fluid till its full then I cap it. How long are you running it at 2000 to check for air pockets?

    Favorite brand of gas?

    hehe, that stuff smells good don't it! Myself I use the same BP and maybe some 110 mixed in but very seldom.

    A howling noise

    Brake pads were done last fall I believe... and wheel bearing shortly after I purchased the car. To check a wheel bearing you jack it up and pull on the tire at 12 and 6 correct?

    A howling noise

    When I pushed the car back into the garage today after I took the coolant line off, I could hear a howling noise, it wasn't very loud, and when the car stopped the noise would stop. Also the every rotation or so of the tire it would feel like it was "bound" up and would release. What could the...

    Coolant Leak!!

    That would help a lot. Either post it here or email it to me if you want. Doesn't matter to me. Thanks!

    Coolant Leak!!

    Yeah I don't know what exactly I'll do. Tomorrow before I have to go to class I want to spray the motor down and get all the coolant off of everything. Hopefully I can get it fixed on Tuesday after I get out of class, since it is my only day off of work.

    New Vette, Nice Mileage!!

    Wow that sucks. When it got over 3 bucks here I pretty much parked the vette unless I took it on highway trips to conserve the gas mileage for the driving time I would get. With the intown mileage it gets, I was getting killed at the pump...

    New Vette, Nice Mileage!!

    Yeah I have the same thing here, there are stations that offer 93 at BP, there is a Citgo that has 95, and 100 all unleaded too. I usually just fill up at the BP its about three minutes from my house. I filled up tonight with a half tank for 2.65 a gallon, cost me 24 bucks.

    Coolant Leak!!

    They had hose long enough, but i couldn't get it to curve out and go back into the other hose that goes into the heater core I think. If I took the straight hose and tried to make the bend with it, I couldn't get it to keep form and it just collapsed.

    New Vette, Nice Mileage!!

    Nothing but premium, since the day I purchased it about three years ago. I have every once in a while mixed a gallon or two of 110 in with a full tank of premium.

    Could I have seen what I think I saw?

    Eh...I don't know how it could be done safely. Some of the verts do have bike racks, but I think that is about it.

    If it hasn't been done in a while, do everything. Plugs, Wires, Cap, rotor, coil. You could also change the fuel filter and clean out the butterflies on the TB if they are dirty. Change the air filter frequently if you have a paper one.

    Coolant Leak!!

    Actually I did one. I should have been more specific about the hose. It was actually the curved house coming out of the intake that is supposed to go into the TB then out on the passenger side. Since I couldn't get a long fitted hose to make the curve I just spliced that shorter hose, and a...

    New Vette, Nice Mileage!!

    I think I get around 27, maybe a tad more if I have the top up on the road with my 87. I don't think I have seen it hit 30+ though.

    Coolant Leak!!

    Out with a few friends for a while tonight, when I see the low coolant light come on. I make a left turn then it goes off for a couple minutes then comes back on. Well I was close to my buddies house so I just drove it till I got there coolant temps were real low (165ish). Well when I get...

    Stupid Tranny Question

    Mine doesn't do that as long as I am above like 40 mph. But if I hit the break or go below that speed then it does unlock.

    Stupid Tranny Question

    Well in my 87 You can feel the shift from 1-2, then from 2-3, then from 3-4. And then the converter locking up around 43ish, also kind of feels like it shifting, but not really. The only thing I can think is something might be wrong with your converter locking up. You sure the fluid in it is...
