The answer to this problem Well, since I was able to figure this out, I decided to post this so if anyone else has a similar situation it'll be one less step to do. The answer was simple...the security system was doing it's job. It was shutting off the fuel source! After trying to unlock the...

My first and easiest step was, after charging the battery, and before changing the wiring, to reinitialize the fobs/ security system. Having done so, I started the car. As we're in the middle of a downpour, I decided that I would not take it out of the garage, but did move the car about 4 feet...

As an added note, a co-worker mentioned he thought is almost sounded like the fuel pump was being shut off as a security measure. Is this likely? Suggestions, anyone?

Having been in the (ahemmmmm) business for 35 plus years, I can honestly say that for me, color, was NOT an issue. Although easier to identify (pick out), I can't say I focused on red ones. Actually, in all the years, I don't ever recall citing any Vette driver. My previous car, a C4, was...

Hi to all! I'm stumped with this and I'm hopeful someone can help. About a month ago I rewired the connections on an aftermarket XM radio a previous owner had installed. Of the two hot leads, one always stayed hot, the other to the accessory/ ignition switch. I wired both hot. I can...

Replaced the sensor Strange this thread recently surfaced! Over the past few weeks our recently purchased C5's external temperature display was way off from the ambient o/s temp. While it was 80 degrees F, our display varied from 56 to 58. I found it quite easy to remove the sensor without...

I'll pass on this one, $72K is a bit too high for me.

Adding my 2 cents... Here-in lies my situation...Son # 1 wishes he had a muscle car, Son # 2 has a C6 ('07 vintage), Son #3 has an '02 Mustang GT. Dad here, has a Y2K C5. Son #1 just dreams, Son #2 brags he can blow me off, Son # 3 (and my youngest, at that), never challenges me (knows...

Just a thought... I have found it very helpful to take digital pictures and videos of the areas in question. If necessary, I burn them to a disc and while doing the replacement, view them on my TV I have in my garage. It's gotten me out of some difficult situations in the past. Good luck...

Success Hey BigJim, Thanks for the info. I was able to get to my project this weekend and it was a complete success. What a butcher job on the wiring. To get power to the unit someone took a cigarette plug adapter cord, spliced some wires in by wrapping them around the male part, then...

Welcome Hi Kevin, Welcome to CAC! You'll find a wealth of free information that never stops...just ask! Right now I have family visiting from Wasilla! Good Luck with your new Vette!

;help I have a bad electrical connection that a previous owner made after installing an XM radio. From what I can see/trace, the connection is hiding under the center console. Apparently the owner removed the auto accessory 12v outlet and has the XM contol head hiding under the center pad...

Solution Sorry to hear about your dilemma. Depending on how long, and what type (color) of stain you have, there are a number of things you might try. Start off with the easiest... a soft bristled brush, cold water and some mild detergent. If not successful you could move on to a baking...

Tom, Great choice of...(ahem) color! Glad to see the wife and I aren't the only ones that found it appealing. Have a great time with her! Rick

Tire Pressure Looks like the general concensus is 30lbs. cold! And that's good enough for me! Thanks, Gang! :beer

Having recently traded our '87 in on a Y2K, part of the deal was that the Dealer replace all four tires with new ones. This morning they installed 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS EMT's. My sensors show they put in 30 lbs of air pressure while cold. To get the maximum life from these tires, I'd...

Glen, I'd guess there are a few ways to approach it. If you are certain there are no leaks, a cheap kit might be the way to go. Following the instructions, you can do this at home. This worked for me. Aside from a few parts to convert it to the new gas, it was a piece of cake...and very...

Bill, Thanks for your reply. I never owned, or for that matter, had even driven on run flats before. My '87 had a spare tucked underneath. I only had the C4 about 5 years and never had a flat. I had to laugh because I went just about 4 of those years and never even looked at the spare. Then one...

Runflats Yes, the dealer will be installing them this coming Friday. I had to drive back to the dealership, a Chrysler/Jeep store, and the parts guy came out with the service manager and copied down all the info from the side wall. He said they were getting exact replacements, Goodyear Eagle...

Runflats Having just traded in a C4 on a Y2K, part of the deal was to have the dealer replace the tires. I got into a small discussion (negotiation) when he stated the tires passed PA inspection standards. The rears were 4/32" and the fronts 6/32". Considering more than half were worn off on...
