DaveP is right. Some have a second switch that is designed to disengage the Cruise Control. As Dave said the Orange & White wires connect to the brake light switch. Be sure the shop didn't bend or dislocate the brake light switch or it's mount. Plus be sure they just didn't break the...

How much vacuum is it pulling? Since you said the timing is "ON" and your vacuum hoses are good... Considering all the other basic stuff is right; It actually sounds like the EGR could be carbonned up and hanging open. It's NOT supposed to operate till the engine warms up, but if the pintle...

If it's a (nearly) stock engine, don't fall victim to all the "glitz, glamour and B.S." As previously mentioned, the best you'll most likely get is between 2-5 H.P. Do yourself a favor and get a K&N air filter and save the $$$. It's re-usable and will last you forever(with the recharge kit.)...

I understand that jumping off another battery would have been the preferred method. That actually is the way we have always done it. Using a jumper pack(battery) or the like. But in all honesty,..I got lazy and didn't feel like jockeying all the cars around because my jumper pack was stone...

Now you're just being facetious......None.

First of all, I said what I did was a "trick" or "shortcut" to avoid loosing all the settings in the car. I NEVER said the FSM recommended it. So don't put words in my mouth. As with most car mechanical & electrical tricks and shortcuts, they are acquired in the field doing years of real...

You are entitled to your opinion, But enough with the gloom and doom. You can even use a KNOWN GOOD 12v battery in place of the charger "on LOW.' It IS necessary to disconnect and reconnect the battery and charger cables EXACTLY as I explained to avoid any possibility of a Spike. This...

With all the recent talk about batteries, storage and maintainers; I changed my battery Saturday with a new Interstate AGM. The main issue I dreaded was resetting all the multitude of settings in the C6. Then I had a brainstorm. Enlisting the help of my trusty Crapsman battery charger, I...

Good deal, Tuna. Glad it was just a battery. With all this battery talk lately, I felt mine was cranking a bit slow too. So I replaced it today. I tried an AGM for the first time. Did the trick...48 month free replacement....... Thanks, Hib!

Hi Hib, Yes the Odyssey is a good battery. A bit pricey though. Actually, I read your review last night and they sound impressive. Like the Die-Hard "used" to be. NOT to step on anybody's toes here; but Tuna, you may also want to consider the Excide Nascar Extreme. It's about half the...

That's the safest way. Being this time of year where some are in storage, I was stating the obvious. No offense intended. First, I'd (jump) start it and be sure you are getting 14 volts or better from the alternator at the battery. J.M.H.O.

Tuna, considering the battery cables are tight and clean(which I'm sure they are,) I'd have to say "Yes." It's dead(or real low.) How long has it been since the car was last run? After about 2-3 weeks of being dormant, the memory circuits will drain the battery if it isn't run. My C4 would...

WHAT?:beer

Sorry Tuna I didn't mention that at times i do enjoy "spirited" driving and intense cornering. I used to drive late model stock cars when I was much younger. Now I get to make right turns too.....LOL! All B.S. aside, the C6(with the magnetic ride control) is one of the most aggressive cars...

I know I'm jinxing myself but I haven't needed a spare for some time. I still carry a mini compressor and fix a flat. I should get a plug kit. But, I'm also a realist & 63 years old. It also helps to have a buddy who owns a towing company. I DEEPLY TRUST (and believe)MURPHY'S LAW. When I was...

What minority would that be? The ones with common sense?

Going without a run-flat would not be practicle without a spare

Here's a "Happy Man's Garage." A C4 and a C6. What should be next? I'm thinking C8. It's a natural progression. Shhhh! Can't let the wife hear that, because you know what she'll say, "Something has gotta go!" Well........So Long Dear! :happyanim:

Sigpic Why isn't my SIGPIC showing on my pages?

Any preferences on tires for my base C6? She has Goodyear F1 EMT GS run-flats now. 245's front and 285's on the rear. Has anyone tried the Michelin Pilot Sport tires and how do they compare? According to Tire Rack's reviews the Mich's are great and the GoodYear's stink. But I don't have...
