    Washer pump replacement

    Darn I don't remember. But I know I did not take the wheel well off. Just the side gill panel. I probably used some wobble joints and extension. Leak might be the rubber o ring that is sandwitched between the pump strainer filter and the tank. That or the tank is cracked, split, or has holes...

    1987 L-98 Craps Itself

    Couldn't tell you exactly. Depends if you have a blown head gasket (coolant/oil mixture you saw). I don't let anyone work on my car. Labor rates are about $70-$80 per hour from what I've seen. Then you got to factory in parts price mark up. If you need a head gasket, you're looking at a serious...

    As mentioned, start the car in a dark garage, or at night outside, and look under the hood. You'll be able to see any sparks.

    What temp switch for front fan??

    Does your car have one or two fans? If two fans (auxillary fan), you will have a fan switch (sensor) threaded into the driver's side cylinder head between the two front most spark plugs ( plugs 1 and 3). Looks like this: The other single green wire sensor on the passenger side cylinder...

    Have to Remove the Oil Pan?

    You can remove the timing cover without touching the oil pan yes, but you won't be able to get the bottom lip of the timing cover back on again during reassembly with the oil pan still there. You have to at minimum loosen the oil pan bolts and drop the front of the pan down a few inches to...

    ABS malfunction

    No. The pump only primes each time you start the motor and reach 4 MPH either in reverse or foward. It does nothing with motor off regardless of key position. Should sound like this. Click below for video sound clip. Click Here

    Cruise control Vacuum

    Wrong. To test the cruise servo, you must remove it's plastic back cover where the electical connector goes. The way you are testing it will always give you a false bad test. Remove the small torx screws, then the back cover. Now you will find a "button" looking thing. With one hand press in the...

    Cruise Control

    Read here: http://www.corvettefever.com/howto/82001/ Also, if anyone has been under the driver side dash near the pedals, the adjustment of the release switches near the brake pedal could have been disturbed. One is an electircal release, and the other a vaccum release. Both need to be...

    1986 Corvette not charging

    I agree with what has been said. The new alternator could be bad too. What's your idle RPM's? Return it, and this time have them bench test the replacement in the store before you take it home. The most common cause for an alternator to stop charging is a worn brush assembly that cost less...

    Vacuum Lines

    I Napa carries sections of this type of vaccum line. Take one into the store with you and buy a long piece. As suggested, use heat to bend them to the desired and needed shapes and curves.

    EGR Pipe Heat Shield

    It connects to another wire behind the distrubutor near it's base. Just follow the wire. The thing you see threaded on the pipe there with the one wire is the EGR temp switch. The replacement shield I got secured with velcro strips, which eliminates the need to have to unbolt the EGR pipe to...
